CodeBe Technical Data

What does CodeBe detect?

Detects beryllium metal, oxide and/or hydroxide, nitrate, sulphate, copper alloy and fluoride.

What is the limit of detection (LoD)?

Limit of detection (LoD) ~0.04 µg per 100 cm2 

How do you use CodeBe?

Wet wipes: wipe suspected area then observe color change.

Dry wipes: wipe suspected area, spritz with water then observe color change.

The more soluble a sample is, the faster and more distinctive the results will be.

Wait up to 5 minutes for results.

Wipe specification

4x4 inch size

12 month+ shelf life

Who is this for?

Decontamination & Decommissioning

1. CodeBe is designed to support practical contamination screening workflows where organizations may need to evaluate large numbers of surfaces, tools, components, work areas or assets before escalation into more resource-intensive laboratory analysis.
2. Organizations are often not trying to replace laboratory testing. They are trying to reduce unnecessary escalation, prioritize laboratory resources more effectively and maintain operational tempo during large-scale industrial hygiene, decommissioning or contamination-control activities.
3. For enterprise, government or large-volume procurement inquiries, please contact Color Tech Holdings directly.

Fusion energy and research

1. Engineers screen diagnostic components for beryllium migration after experimental plasma shots.
2. Safety leads monitor for hazardous dust accumulation near breeding blanket test modules.
3. Teams ensure experimental hardware is residue-free prior to shipping for external analysis.
   

National labs

1. Technicians monitor hot cells for trace leaks from material containment vials.
2. Handlers screen the exterior of storage drums before movement to long-term repositories.
3. Security personnel screen high-touch access points for unauthorized material movement.
   

Medical imaging

1. Cyclotron operators screen target-handling equipment for residues during isotope production.
2. Safety officers verify therapy rooms are clear of contamination following radiopharmaceutical procedures.
3. Maintenance staff screen internal scanner components during annual deep-service cycles.
   

Aerospace & Defense

1. Inspectors detect beryllium particulates on reclaimed hardware during the refurbishment process.
2. Field technicians perform rapid safety assessments of ballistic test ranges for hazardous residues.
3. Quality leads verify component cleanliness for use in nuclear propulsion research.
   

Complex manufactured goods

1. QA teams screen industrial sensors for contaminants that could interfere with precision calibration.
2. Managers monitor manufacturing equipment for the transfer of dust from raw material processing.
3. Supervisors verify that finished engineered parts meet decontamination standards before packaging.

Non-spark tools

1. Inspectors ensure copper-beryllium wrenches used in nuclear zones remain contamination-free.
2. Crews swipe shared tool chests to prevent residue transfer between different facility zones.
3. Crib managers verify that specialized equipment is clean and safe for reissue.
   

Handling copper beryllium alloys

1. Machinists monitor workstations for beryllium dust generated during alloy milling.
2. Safety officers check protective aprons for particulates after workers handle alloy billets.
3. Hygienists screen filtration surfaces for captured residues from alloy grinding processes.
   

Metal recycling

1. Inspectors screen incoming scrap shipments for hidden contamination from decommissioned equipment.
2. Plant managers verify that sorting bins and conveyors remain free of buildup and can check for migration.
3. Compliance teams swipe outgoing metal batches to certify they are residue-free.
   

Waste classification

1. Technicians provide data for characterizing industrial debris into appropriate waste streams.
2. Leads verify that waste container exteriors are not contaminated for safe handling.
3. Remediation specialists monitor for accidental spreading of contaminants during waste packaging.
   

Metal handling and transport

1. Logistics workers screen transport vehicle interiors before and after moving sensitive tech.
2. Receiving clerks perform safety checks on the latches of incoming shipping crates.
3. Riggers ensure that lifting tackle and slings remain clean after moving metal containers.
