Radiation Geiger Counter
Product Code : LSK-CL-10084
Radiation Geiger Counter (SKU LSK-CL-10084), also called a Geiger-Muller or GM counter, is an instrument that monitors and measures ionising radiation. It comes complete with a high-sensitivity GM tube that detects alpha, beta and gamma radiation, and it runs on mains or battery. Physics and chemistry departments use it for radioactivity practicals at school and college level. Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The counter pairs its electronics with a high-sensitivity GM tube able to respond to all three common types of radiation: alpha, beta and gamma. Mains or battery operation lets it work on the bench or away from a socket, and it is supplied complete with instructions. An economy model with a separate benchtop meter and tube is also available.

Applications and Experiments for the Radiation Geiger Counter
The counter is used to detect and count radiation from sealed teaching sources and from the natural background, so students can study how radiation behaves instead of only reading about it. It fits the nuclei and radioactivity chapter of NCERT Class 12 physics, B.Sc. nuclear physics practicals and radiochemistry introductions.
- Class 12 physics: measuring background radiation and count rates from a sealed source.
- B.Sc. practical: plotting the characteristic and operating plateau of a GM tube.
- Absorption experiments: comparing how paper, aluminium and lead stop alpha, beta and gamma radiation.
- Inverse-square-law study of gamma intensity with distance.
Radioactive sources used with the counter must be handled with tongs, under teacher supervision and according to your institution's radiation safety rules.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Radiation Geiger Counter is supplied complete with its high-sensitivity GM tube and instructions. Radioactive sources are not part of this item and are listed separately. If you prefer the economy model with a separate benchtop meter and tube, say so when you ask for a quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You may ask for one counter for demonstration or several for a physics practical lab. Science Lab Supplies quotes the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity and model you specify, and sealed alpha, beta and gamma sources can be added to the same quotation.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia and Rwanda.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which types of radiation does the counter detect?
Its high-sensitivity GM tube detects alpha, beta and gamma radiation, so it covers all the radioactivity experiments in school and first-year college syllabuses.
Does it need mains power?
No. It is a mains or battery operated instrument, so it can be used on a bench near a socket or moved around the laboratory.
Is a cheaper version available?
Yes. An economy model with a separate benchtop meter and tube is available. Mention it in your enquiry and it can be quoted alongside the standard counter.
Who supplies the Radiation Geiger Counter?
Science Lab Supplies supplies the counter from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges and distributors, and quotes single units or tender quantities.
Related Radioactivity and Atomic Structure Items
A Geiger counter needs sources to measure, and radioactivity lessons usually start from the structure of the atom. These four items connect the counter to that teaching sequence, from sealed sources for the practical to models that explain where the radiation comes from.
- Radioactive Sources — sealed alpha, beta and gamma sources for counting.
- Model of The Atom — the nucleus and electrons behind radioactivity.
- Atom Activity Model — hands-on atomic structure for students.
- Schrodinger Atomic Model — the quantum model of the atom.
