-
How long is the working days for the issuance of dose reports?
- 10 - 15 working days upon receipt of the used dosimeters
-
How about with the shipment of OSL badges?

-
What is OSL?
- Optically Stimulated Luminescence. The OSL Technology developed by Laundauer, Inc. is the latest technology used for radiation measurement. The Aluminum Oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) is the detector material used to measure the amount of radiation exposure received by the OSL dosimeter. From the name itself, this detector is stimulated by a light source which will result to illumination. The amount of light emitted will determine the amount of radiation dose received by the dosimeter.
-
What is the difference between TLD and OSL Dosimeters?
- TLD or Thermoluminescent Dosimetry is an old technology used for radiation measurement which uses heat when stimulating the detector material to measure the amount of radiation exposure. In terms of advantages of OSL from TLD: it is insensitive to environmental effects, capable of longer wear period, non-destructive readout and archiving is possible.
-
What is your process for dose monitoring service subscription?
