Product Overview

The item includes a Photomultiplier Tube, a disposable grounding wrist, label kit and packing material. The photomultiplier is a versatile device providing ultra-fast response and extremely high sensitivity. A typical photomultiplier tube consists of a photoemissive cathode followed by focusing electrodes, an electron multiplier and an electron collector in a vacuum tube. The tube generally has a photocathode in either side-on configuration. Because of secondary emission multiplication photomultiplier, tubes provide an extremely high sensitivity and exceptionally low noise compared to other photosensitive devices. It also features fast time response and choice of large photosensitive areas. This photomultiplier tube is used in gamma cameras which obtain an image of a radioisotope injected into the body of a patient to locate abnormalities. The disposable grounding wrist strap included provides reliable product protection from the static electricity generated by a person. A hypo-allergenic adhesive provides 360 degree contact with the skin to minimize skin-to-band resistance. At the other end, the conductive adhesive on the copper foil adheres to any convenient electrical ground. A current limiting resistance is fabricated into the plastic ribbon below the wrist band. The GE product is an innovation and technology which fits well into versatile customer needs. It is manufactured using high precision techniques which helps to achieve a good surface finish as well as good product consistency. The part is diligently designed for high performance and reliability. It is securely packaged inside a high quality packing box to avoid physical damage during transit and labeled with details about the product, Quality Assurance (QA) seal and shipment details.
