Despite being a citizen science project, professional quality and scientific grade data was sought from the onset, and the methodology and tool-sets Safecast developed and deployed are cited in scientific literature and by governments.

Bluetooth module. The mode switch offers choice between geotagged radiation logging (data saved to microSD card) and measuring without GPS - showing also Bq/m2 (Cs) values. Inside the case the unit is calibrated for gamma radiation. The main unit

CzechRad is a direct bGeigie Nano alternative in development. The device uses same LND 7317 (USA) Geiger tube as bGeigie Nano, same
Pelican 1010 plastic case and same output data format (LOG files). Compared to bGeigie, CzechRad is not assembled from several commercial modules but instead uses brand

BGeigie Zen is based on original bGeigie but uses a new sensor board, the SafePulse and M5Stack modular IoT platform. The presented prototype was built in bigger
Pelican 1015 case. It is much simpler to build and can be built in a fraction of the time it would take to build the original bGeigieNano.
366:
The bGeigie Nano is available as a kit, so the user needs to learn how to solder in order to build it from the supplied parts. Until
November 2020 the kit could be purchased from the Kithub product page. The device was developed in collaboration with International Medcom Inc. and shares some parts
513:
In April 2021 Safecast announced development of new device called bGeigie Zen. The device will be an updated version of the bGeigieNano with a lot of build in additional features like wireless uploading of data, wireless charging, replaceable LiPo battery, etc. More information can be found at
504:
In
November 2020 KitHub announced in their email newsletter stopping the production of the bGeigie Nano kits after 5 years. Two devices are currently under development that could replace bGeigie Nano in the future (the existing devices will remain in service).
375:"bGeigie Nano is a lighter version of the bGeigie Mini using an Arduino Fio, a GpsBee, an OpenLog and an Inspector Alert geiger counter. The aim is to make everything fit in a Pelican Micro Case 1040".
