Profile: Ortec manufactures germanium and silicon detectors. We offer thyroid counter, whole-body counting systems, LLD-W and actinide-85. Our thyroid counter is designed for analyzing the uptake of radio iodine in the thyroid. The Na I detector is sized to provide optimal efficiency for the 125 I and 131 I isotopes in the human thyroid including a thin, aluminum entrance window for the low-energy photons. The actinide-85 is a germanium detector designed for lung burden and whole-body counting applications. This detector design allows for the detection of small amounts of actinides such as uranium, plutonium and americium, as well as higher energy fission products and naturally-occurring radioisotopes, in a distributed source such as the human lung. It is also ideal for monitoring radiation workers for lung burden, body burden and wounds.

The company was founded in 1960, has revenues of USD 50-100 Million, has ~250 employees and is ISO 9002, CE certified.
