An electrostatic concentrator for use in radon detection, comprising of a plastic sheet having conductive electrodes patterned onto the surface. The sheet is patterned and cut in such a way that it can be assembled into a three-dimensional shape (e.g. a cone), such that when a voltage is applied to the electrodes an electrostatic field is created for propelling radon progeny towards a sensor on which it can be detected.

The planchet holder for electrodeposition of materials includes a container cover configured to securely fit over the mouth of a beaker. An elongate suspension post passes through a through-hole in the cover a predetermined distance, and a holder assembly is coupled to the suspension post to be suspended within the beaker at a select height from the bottom of the beaker. A planchet receptacle extends axially from a body of the holder assembly, and a substrate recess is formed at a distal end of the planchet receptacle for selective placement of a planchet. An endcap is secured onto the planchet receptacle to securely capture the planchet, and a port in the endcap exposes one face of the planchet for electrodeposition of a material. The planchet holder holds the planchet stationary within the beaker and exposes only one face for electrodeposition and subsequent analysis, thereby reducing time and costs.
