Analytical Instrument Systems, Inc. has introduced a new unique instrument for voltammetric analysis, the AIS DLK MP-1. The instrument performs all the standard voltammetric analysis as well as striping analysis for low level detection of analytes under study. This instrument allows the user to navigate through menus using any standard iPad™ or iPhone™. The instrument allows the user to collect and view data on the iPad™ or iPhone™ and directly send data to the iCloud™ where it can be further analyzed. All data is backed up to a MicroSD card and can be removed to get instant access to data collected. This system allows for the immediate analysis of data through our new unique Web interface called AIS Educate and coming soon AIS Professional.
InterSpec Radiation Analysis
Analyze nuclear radiation spectral data to identify nuclides, determine source activity, and calculate shielding. Supports various detector file formats and includes tools for dose rate calculations and nuclide decay information.
- Spectral nuclear radiation data analysis
- Nuclide identification
- Source activity determination
- Shielding amount calculation
- Spectral file format conversion
- Dose rate calculations
- Interactive nuclide decay information

InterSpec assists in analyzing spectral nuclear radiation data, using a peak-based methodology. Common uses include identifying nuclides present, determining source activity, shielding amounts, source age, or other nuclear reactions present. InterSpec also provides a number of other tools useful for analyzing radiation data including spectral file format converting, dose rate calculations, interactive nuclide decay and reference information, gamma cross section calculations and references, and more. InterSpec can open data files from most common spectral radiation detectors (e.g., most NaI, HPGe, LaBr, CLYC, CsI, etc. based systems) and assist in their analysis.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MicroPStat at 5.0 against InterSpec Radiation Analysis's 4.2. MicroPStat also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months). InterSpec Radiation Analysis's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
MicroPStat holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InterSpec Radiation Analysis has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
MicroPStat ships an update every 2 months, InterSpec Radiation Analysis every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
