Uranium: metal, oxide, hydroxide, acetate, nitrate, fluoride, carbonate, and ore - in both solid and aqueous forms.

Plutonium: detects key isotopes and compounds encountered in civil, defense, and emergency response applications.

What is the limit of detection (LoD)?

CodeNu LoD is ~3-5 µg per 100 cm2 for U and ~0.2 µg per 100 cm2 for Pu

CodeNu detects elemental U and Pu, not radiation 

How do you use CodeNu?

Wet wipes: wipe suspected area then observe color change.

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