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. It serves radioactivity practicals in physics and chemistry at school and college level. Science Lab Supplies quotes the counter from Ambala, India, and can deliver it to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Detector, radiation types, power and model options of the GM counter appear row by row in the table. In short, the counter pairs its electronics with a high-sensitivity GM tube that responds to alpha, beta and gamma radiation, runs on mains or battery, and comes 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; disposable Gloves - Protective and reusable Safety Glasses can be quoted for the practical bench.
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 quoted 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. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). State the model, standard or economy, and the quantity on the contact page or in the enquiry cart; physics departments buying by tender can use the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which types of radiation does the counter detect?
Its high-sensitivity GM tube detects alpha, beta and gamma radiation, so one instrument covers background counts, source counts and absorption work with all three radiation types.
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 run from its battery where no socket is close.
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?
The counter is offered by Science Lab Supplies from its Ambala, India base, with quotations for schools, colleges and distributors covering one demonstration unit or a full tender quantity.
