Geiger Counter Wands – Precision Radiation Detection

GCW-01 Geiger Counter Wand

The GCW-01 features a highly sensitive thin mica window GM tube, capable of detecting alpha, beta, and gamma radiation—making it ideal for comprehensive radiation monitoring.

• Operating Range: 450–600 volts
• Recommended Voltage: 500 volts

GCW-02 Geiger Counter Wand

Equipped with a durable glass GM tube, the GCW-02 is designed to detect beta and gamma radiation with reliable accuracy.

• Anode Resistor: 2.2 megaohms
• Operating Voltage: 400 volts

Compact & Shielded for Field Use

Each wand is lightweight and portable, measuring approximately 0.85" in diameter and 5.75" in length. A 3-foot shielded cable with a mini DIN plug ensures secure connectivity and ease of use in any setup.

Important Note for Replacement Wands

If you are purchasing a wand as a replacement for one of our digital Geiger counters, we highly recommend sending in your Geiger counter along with your order. This allows our technicians to calibrate the new wand specifically to your unit, ensuring the most accurate radiation readings and optimal performance.

Ideal for use in nuclear experiments and educational demonstrations, these shields enhance the accuracy of your readings by selectively blocking specific types of radiation.

Compatible exclusively with the GCW-01 Wand, each shield serves a distinct purpose:

• Paper Shield: Blocks alpha radiation while allowing beta and gamma radiation to pass through.
• Aluminum Shield: Attenuates beta radiation.
• Lead Shield: Attenuates gamma radiation.
