Fermi has tested the iSolo but not put it into regular use. Of course its main utility is for air samples. We have noted that the radon rejection capability works much better if PTFE filters are used rather than glass fiber. With PTFE filters, radon rejection appears to be complete about 1 hour after the end of sampling, i.e. the compensated alpha counts are near zero or slightly negative.

It’s main selling point for Palo Verde was the radon rejection algorithm. Do any of you have experience with the iSolo at your facilities?
