The equipment, Ametek's Micro-Detective, features a 50 x 30mm germanium crystal in a portable electromechanically cooled package and an integrated screen for displaying and accumulating data, zooming in/out spectra, determining peak energies, calibrating with Cs-137 without additional software, and performing isotope ID without external data connections.

The initial requirement was for 2 detectors, with scope to purchase up to 3 more over the 3-year contract.

The contract value is £4,000,000.
