There are some restrictions when using the software in standalone mode, compared with the desktop version, primarily a limit of eight audio tracks and no access to third-party plugins. That said though, you can’t knock the capabilities here. It lags behind some rivals on the sampling front, but on the whole, the MC-707 is powerful, well-designed and a lot of fun.
The customer's actual efficiencies will also vary depending on sample thickness, self-absorption, etc.Some firmware refinement is needed to justify its price, but there's a lot to like about this inspiring and intuitive standalone sampler. Protean specification sheets also contain efficiencies using thin distributed area sources with the source placed at the bottom of various planchet/holder sizes. These efficiencies are provided for comparative purposes with other vendors providing their typical efficiencies using point sources at very close source (∼1 mm) to detector distances instead of area sources in realistic counting geometries.

Users can start with a four or eight detector system (one or two MPC-9604 units) and add additional detectors at any time.Ĥ ea. The design of the MPC-9604 and control software allow for easy expansion.

S ince each MPC-9604 is self-supporting, the only connections required are the PC interface, the P-10 gas supply, and AC power. Every single electronic module is accessible from the front of the system, with no rear access required.

Detector windows can be changed in less than 10 minutes, without interrupting any other detector in the system. Maintenance features include detectors and detector windows that are completely accessible from the front of the instrument, without having to lift a single lead brick. Gas-Pro™ monitors the unit for any P-10 gas fault and halts counting until it is corrected. The MPC-9604 supports true count to MDA so counting time is automatically optimized for each sample.
Each detector has its own individual sample drawer, making sample loading and control completely independent and ensuring no interrupted counts on adjacent detectors when a sample drawer is opened. It has the lowest background performance in the industry for a multi-detector system. The MPC-9604 is designed to maintain very high sample throughput by combining several critical features into one system. The unit contains four completely independent gas-flow proportional detectors, a guard detector, lead shielding, and all support electronics. This system is most frequently used in radiochemistry laboratories, such as those measuring strontium (Sr) in drinking water, which often have many sample that require count times of several hours. It is typically part of a Multi-Detector System (MDS) that consists of at least one MPC-9604 unit, a control PC, and software. The MPC-9604 is a multi-detector, low background alpha/beta counting system designed for applications that require high sample throughput and high sensitivity.
