MP 320 Neutron Generator

Thermo Scientific™ MP 320 is a lightweight, portable neutron generator suited for most demanding field or laboratory applications. It has very low power requirements and may be operated from battery or vehicle power sources. It is available with either a Deuterium-Tritium (DT) or a Deuterium-Deuterium (DD) neutron tube.

This product cannot be offered for sale in the foreseeable future due to obsolete components which cannot be obtained. Thermo Fisher Scientific is still able to support existing systems with replacement neutron tubes and most repairs.
