Mazur Instruments PRM-8000 Geiger Counter
Included Free: Ballistic Nylon Foam Lined Protective Jacket
- Detect, Measure and Monitor Nuclear Radiation - (Case and Data Cable Included!)
The PRM-8000 is one of the finest units you can purchase because of its quality and accuracy!
Please do not think you will spend $150 or $199 on one of the other units being sold on ebay and get the same functions! The less expensive SOEKS geiger counters measure ONLY gamma radiation. Mazur Instruments PRM-8000 measures alpha, beta, gamma and x-ray radiation!

PRM-8000 or PRM-9000 What Is the Difference? The PRM-9000 is 3.5 times more sensitive to nuclear radiation, but cannot be taken outside above 10,000 feet without risking damaging the Geiger tube - rendering the device inoperative. Flying or shipment by commercial air is fine. The PRM-8000 is lighter and more rugged. The PRM-9000 is best for detecting lower levels of contamination in items quickly. The PRM-8000 is also able to detect lower levels of contamination in items, but requires more time (using the timed measurement functions). No Geiger counter is exceptional for detecting trace contamination in food, but the PRM-9000, with its pancake tube is the better of the two for scanning food.

Over two years in development, the CE-compliant PRM-8000 Geiger Counter is released to the market at a time when many people and organizations are making the detection, measurement and monitoring of nuclear radiation a high priority. This Geiger counter delivers laboratory grade performance in a small package. Battery life is over 6-years under normal conditions from a single, readily-available, 9-volt lithium battery that is user-installable without soldering. (Standard alkaline 9-volt batteries available virtually everywhere provide over 3-years of life under normal conditions.) We know of no other nuclear radiation monitor anywhere that can provide this level of battery life from standard, user-replaceable batteries without soldering.
The two-line, alphanumeric display supports both English and Japanese languages promoting ease-of-use and concise measurement. The display is backlit to support low-light conditions. The Geiger counter's unique Radiation Monitoring Engine (RME) is always-on collecting measurements enabling rapid environment assessment.
Using only one key, users can scroll through several screens that display present, average, maximum and minimum measurements in uR/hr, mR/hr, uSv/hr, Counts per Second (CPS) or Counts per Minute (CPM). The PRM-8000 instrument not only records the maximum radiation measured, but also displays the time and date at which the maximum occurred.
With over 100K bytes of data logging memory included, this Geiger Counter can autonomously store up to 91,466 minutes or hours of time-stamped measurements. These measurements can then be uploaded to a PC in CSV format for analysis. A user-settable dose rate alarm sounds an audible alert when the measured radiation level exceeds that of the alarm level setting.
Designed by Mazur Instruments and manufactured in the USA, the PRM-8000 Geiger counter includes abundant I/O options including support for headphones, external speakers, external power and USB data exchange (USB cable not included).
Scan items for radiation, detect Naturally Occurring Radioactive
Materials (NORM) and continuously monitor your environment. The PRM-8000
is an ideal solution for First Responders, Homeland Security, Medical
Safety, Educators, Researchers and Geologists. This Geiger counter
delivers laboratory grade performance in a small package. The two-line,
alphanumeric display supports both English and Japanese languages
promoting ease-of-use and concise measurement. The display is backlit to
support low-light conditions. The device's Radiation Monitoring Engine
(RME) is always-on collecting measurements and statistics enabling rapid
environment assessment. Using only one key, users can scroll through
several screens that display present, average, maximum and minimum
measurements in uR/hr, mR/hr, uSv/hr, Counts per Second (CPS) or Counts

radiation measured, but also displays the time and date at which the

the USA, the PRM-8000 includes abundant I/O options including support
for headphones, external speakers, external power and PC/Mac USB data
exchange (requires optional 3.5mm to USB adapter cable). Minimum energy
sensitivity alpha (2.5 MeV), beta (50 keV), gamma/X rays (10 keV). Gamma
sensitivity: 1,000 CPM/mR/hr (Cs-137).
Comparison to the Soeks Geiger Counter
The Soeks unit relies on rechargeable batteries and the
battery life is considerably less than our PRM units - only 10 hours before recharge.
Compare the constant monitoring battery life of the PRM-9000 at 2.33 years or
the PRM-8000 at 3.2 years!
The Soeks unit is smaller and has a larger display, but the
small size requires small batteries and the color display takes more power.
Combined, this results in poor battery life and the requirement to have AC power
readily available 24/7 for any long term
monitoring.
However, a crtical draw back of this unit is that it only
detects gamma radiation and not alpha and beta. While they do not provide
specifics on their detector, the pancake detector of the PRM-9000 is far
superior in sensitivity. The detector in the PRM-8000 is far superior as
well.

Why Own a Geiger Counter?
The links in the text below provide independent background information on the topicAs Heard on National Radio:
“Mazur said he developed handheld Geiger
counters so consumers and hobbyists could be aware of radiation levels
in the things around them. If you don't have some sort of instrument...
you're completely a hundred percent certain that you have no idea what's
in your environment," he cautioned. Mazur shared a report about elevator buttons in France that were made from recycled metal containing nuclear waste, as well as a story about radioactive metal tissue boxes sold by a major home goods chain. A week spent near one of these 'hot' tissue boxes was equivalent to getting a chest x-ray, he revealed.”
With a Mazur Instruments PRM-8000 or PRM-9000 You Can:
- Check granite countertops, water filters, air filters, building materials and other items in your home for radioactive contamination - Check for radioactivity inantiques, watch and clock dials, antique pottery, smoke detector, lantern mantels, etc. - Monitor and maintain awareness amidst a nuclear accident or emergency - Test for radioactive contamination of food - Check for radioactivity in metal objects in your home or office that could be made of recycled radioactive materials - Check for leaks or possible exposure if you work in or near an X-ray lab in a medical facility or medical office suite - Check for environmental levels of radioactivity near a nuclear power facility - Test the soil and environment for dangerous levels of radioactivity - Monitor personal levels of radiation due to
radiation therapy, brachytherapy or other medical procedures that rely on radioactive substances ___________________________________________________________________
