BERTHOLD Equipment We Repair — By Category
BERTHOLD Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full BERTHOLD product range. Below are the major product families we service.
LB Series Liquid Scintillation Counters
Berthold LB liquid scintillation systems for alpha, beta, and combined counting. Common failures include PMT tube degradation, high voltage regulation failure, temperature stability drift, and liquid counting chamber contamination affecting count accuracy.
Gamma Counters and Dose Rate Monitors
High-sensitivity gamma detection instruments for environmental, pharmaceutical, and industrial monitoring. Typical issues include detector crystal fracture, photomultiplier tube failure, preamplifier malfunction, and calibration drift requiring recalibration against reference sources.
Portal Monitor and Survey Systems
Real-time radiation contamination detection for boundary monitoring and material screening. Common faults include detector response degradation, alarm threshold miscalibration, wireless transmission loss, and battery backup charging circuit failure in remote units.
Dose Rate Monitor Electronics
Compact dose measurement and display modules for nuclear facilities and research labs. Issues typically involve analog signal conditioning failure, display driver malfunction, power supply ripple causing reading instability, and sensor connector corrosion.
Control and Interface Modules
Modular electronics controlling Berthold instrument operation, data logging, and communication. Repair scope includes microcontroller reprogramming, communication port isolation/replacement, relay failure, and serial/USB interface restoration.

All-India Service
Couriered repairs accepted from any city in India. Doorstep pickup available in Vadodara, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Surat, Chennai, and more.
Common BERTHOLD Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in BERTHOLD equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓PMT tube failure and high voltage breakdown — Photomultiplier tubes in Berthold LB series degrade after 2-3 years of continuous operation. Moisture ingress, voltage surge, or prolonged high-count-rate saturation causes tube grid insulation breakdown and complete signal loss.
- ✓Liquid scintillation counting accuracy drift beyond 10 percent — Berthold LB counters lose calibration due to photomultiplier tube aging, counting chamber contamination by sample residue, temperature sensor failure causing incorrect quench correction, or aging of internal reference sources.
- ✓Dose rate meter display reading frozen or erratic — Analog signal conditioning circuits in Berthold dose monitors develop leaky capacitors, drift in operational amplifier offset, or detector preamplifier oscillation caused by shielding deterioration or cable impedance mismatch.
- ✓Portal monitor alarm triggers intermittently or fails to detect source — Berthold portal detector sensitivity loss occurs from scintillation crystal micro-fractures after thermal shock, photomultiplier age-related efficiency drop, or discriminator threshold circuit drift due to aging resistor networks.
- ✓Serial or USB communication failure between Berthold counter and PC — RS-232 or USB interface circuits in Berthold LB control modules suffer from cold-solder joints on connector pins, failed MAX232 level conversion chips, corrupted EEPROM firmware, or loose shield grounding causing noise interference.
- ✓Battery backup circuit not charging or holding charge — Berthold portable survey meters use aging NiMH or Li-ion packs and aging charging circuit mosfets. Trickle charger ICs fail, charging diodes reverse-leak, or battery cells suffer internal resistance rise preventing full charge acceptance.

Frequently Asked Questions — BERTHOLD Repairs
Do you repair Berthold equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics Electronics repairs the complete Berthold radiation detection and measurement instrument range — liquid scintillation counters, gamma counters, dose rate monitors, portal monitors, and control electronics. We offer PAN-India door pickup and return from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Surat, Kolkata, and all major Indian cities. All repairs are handled in our Vadodara, Gujarat facility with documented testing and calibration certificates.
Can Synchronics recalibrate and certify Berthold liquid scintillation counters?+
Yes, absolutely. Synchronics performs complete recalibration of Berthold LB series counters using NIST-traceable reference standards. We validate counting efficiency, quench correction curves, background subtraction, and detector linearity. Each repair includes an ISO-compliant calibration certificate with measurement uncertainty — essential for pharma QA, GxP compliance, and regulatory audits. Turnaround is typically 5-7 working days.
What is the cost and turnaround for Berthold PMT tube replacement?+
Berthold PMT tube replacement typically costs INR 18,000–35,000 depending on tube type and detector configuration. We maintain stock of compatible Hamamatsu and Electron Tubes PMTs. Standard turnaround is 3–5 working days. For urgent cases, we offer express service. We always bench-test the repaired detector under load before shipment and include a 6-month PMT warranty.
My Berthold dose rate meter shows erratic readings. What could be wrong?+
Erratic readings in Berthold dose meters typically indicate failing analog signal conditioning circuits, temperature sensor drift, or detector preamplifier noise coupling. Synchronics diagnoses the fault through signal tracing and source-based measurement testing. We replace suspect components, re-shield circuits, and validate linearity and stability. Most analog drift issues are resolved within 4–5 days. We test using calibrated reference sources and provide full performance reports.
Do you handle warranty repairs for Berthold equipment?+
Yes. Synchronics is an authorized independent service partner for Berthold equipment repairs in India. We handle in-warranty, out-of-warranty, and extended-warranty repairs. We work directly with Berthold Technologies Germany for spare parts, technical documentation, and firmware updates. Warranty coverage details depend on your agreement — contact us with your purchase documentation for clarification.
How do I send my BERTHOLD unit for repair?+
Pack the unit securely and courier it to our Vadodara workshop. Include a note with the fault description and your contact details. We will log it into our system and WhatsApp you a job number within 24 hours of receipt. Doorstep pickup is available in Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, and Pune.
What is the cost of repairing a BERTHOLD drive or PLC?+
Repair cost depends on the model and the fault. We offer a free diagnosis — once we identify the fault, we provide a fixed quotation before proceeding. Typical repairs cost 20–40% of the new unit price. We will never repair without your approval.
What warranty do you provide on BERTHOLD repairs?+
All repaired units carry a 6-month comprehensive warranty covering the same fault and related issues. If the fault recurs within the warranty period, we repair it free of cost.
Do you provide a no-fix, no-fee guarantee?+
Yes. If we cannot repair your BERTHOLD unit after diagnosis, you pay only the diagnosis fee (₹500–₹1,500 depending on the product). The unit is returned to you at no additional charge.
