The Most Reliable Ground Testing Instrument
MARKUS is a well-proven professional instrument that measures radon in the ground. Common application areas for MARKUS are the mapping of radon levels in the construction site for new buildings or other mapping, as well as short-term measurements in areas with levels above 1 kBq / m³.
Why Choose MARKUS?
MARKUS is a highly accurate ground radon measuring instrument. A probe tube (hollow skewer) is driven into the ground and then the air is pumped through the probe tube to a chamber that detects the decay products of the radon, then the measurement result is shown in the display. A water trap is mounted on top of the probe tube to prevent water from being pumped up into the chamber.
MARKUS is a portable and battery-powered instrument that can measure high radon concentrations. The measurement time for measuring ground radon is 12 minutes.
The price includes an aluminum case, battery charger, probe tube with percussion neck and tip, handle for probe tube, key for connection, water monitor and calibration certificate. As an option, you can buy a sliding hammer that eliminates the need to use a sledgehammer to drive the probe tube into the ground to a depth of 70 cm.

FAQ About MARKUS
Radonova has been developing the world’s most trusted radon detection and monitoring devises for over 30 years. We are trusted in over 50 countries and have the most thorough accreditations over multiple continents.
Everything you need to take accurate ground radon measurements is included. However, we do recommend purchasing a sliding hammer to help achieve the 70 cm depth in mutilple types of ground material.
Although the testing period takes 12 minutes to complete the reading, setup will depend greatly on the ground properties and weather conditions.
The devise itself is 3kg or approximately 6.5 lbs.
Yes! We have the ultra accurate ATMOS which provides radon content with 10% margin of error within 10 minutes.
