Is there any testing for radiation levels?

Good question; I do not know...the product is canned in Vietnam; the skipjack are caught in the North Pacfiic, so...good question!

I have absolutely no idea. You'd best ask the company directly via their own website. Their customer service is excellent.

There are four types of radiation...Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and X-Ray. The only radiation the detector is guaranteed to detect is Beta and gamma.

This unit does not give out radiation. That is not something that any one can sell over the counter. Radiation is harmful and has to be regulated.

No it is not a spectrophotometer . It is a crudely simple radiation counter. It is mainly gamma rays sensitive. The most interesting usage I had from it was from taking it up in a commercial jet on a holiday and watching the radiation levels soar to about 20 times what it was in my kitchen. (This is well-known but still interesting to see oneself.) I have also detected beaches that were radioactive with natural thorium but it has to be laid on the sand to work. It's a bit crude and it is worth knowing the basics of radiation counting before you use it, for example what a sievert and or micro-sievert is.

I am curious myself; went to Viva's website, as well as doing a google search, but found nothing. They have a phone #: 800-921-8482. I have yet to call, but have been using the product for over a year with positive results. (My biggest concern for "anything" coming out of Hawaii is radiation from Fukushima. I live in CA--the Bay area--and have, sadly, stopped eating local seafood. The media here gives zero radiation info. Also, UC Berkeley stopped posting air/water radiation levels just one month after the tsunami. They had been posting their readings for over 20 years...and suddenly stopped.)

One of two reaons I returned the item, concern was also the high radiation in N.Z.

Hello Nina, We make a low cost ($69.95) radiation detector, the Canary 100. It is designed to detect Alpha radiation in food. You will need to keep it dry though.

I found an NRC certification on their website. it only mentions Alpha radiation. Here's the link - http://hq-precision-instruments.com/HQ_PRECISION_INSTRUMENTS/NRC_Certification.html

can you tell me how you know if it protects against radiation or not? I do want something for that I feel certain it works .

No. This is only to find electromagnetic radiation from electricity running through wire. Like overhead power lines. You need a microwave radiation detector for wifi and cell phones. Like this one: Hf35c Rf Analyze (800mhz - 2.5 Ghz) - Perfect for Smart Meters Detection

Radiation detectors only pickup decaying particles close by. You would need to be close to Fukushima area to detect anything serious. Unless you're going to Japan I would suggest something reliable and inexpensive like the www.amazon.com/International-Medcom-CRM-100-Digital-Radiation/dp/B006C4ZTEK .

I don't think so, but I'm not sure. It measures radiation from the microwave.

The detector will show you the cumulative dose and you will be able to see how much radiation was absorbed during the specific time period. In order to measure the dose a radiation dosimeter has to be present. However, if an object absorbed a significant amount of radiation and became "radioactive", meaning the radiation is coming from the object, the SOEKS detector will be able to pick it up simply by getting the detector close enough to the object you'd like to measure. The other option is to measure a radiation background away and near the object, subtract two numbers - the difference is how much radiation the object emits.

i dont think there is a testing facility or control center.this product does not work.don't waste your money on this one.

I believe this is mainly for cell towers, which is why I purchased it. One was installed next to our house in August. It does measure other radiation in the house i.e. from microwave oven, tv, etc. Not familiar with the Trifield item.

just tape it in the freezer, it will last longer, and if there is radiation it will register just as well.

I have no way of knowing for sure, but I do not believe, from comments of the doctor that prescribed this to me, and from what I read, that it is irradiated.
