The Thermo Scientific P 385 Neutron Generator incorporates the
next-generation of digital control. The operating options include a setting
for manual start and stop; a run timer setting; or a specified number of pulses
setting. There are three auxiliary outputs: one is synchronized with the
pulse and the other two are adjustable relative to the pulse signal. Extensive
safety features are designed into the P 385. Key-lock and external interlocks
are built-in while the Smart Lamp senses light and current.
The P 385 is designed for longevity and lifetime cost savings. The
accelerator head contains a longer-life tube than other neutron generators on the market, with an
expected lifetime of 4,500 hours at 108 n/s. This provides a higher output than other
comparable models. Additionally, the cost per billion neutrons produced is about
$0.05, 15% less than other brands. The P 385 operates with a graphical
interface or text commands and can be run on PC, Apple and most other
platforms. Included is an integrated high voltage power supply which
eliminates bulky external high-voltage cables. This product has a DOT
exemption, which allows it to ship fully pressurized, simplifying transport
logistics and planning.
