OSLR Reader Series for Radiation Measurements

OSLR readers are designed for use with InLight™ dosimeters for whole body, environmental and emergency response monitoring.

All-in-one Dosimetry System

The OSLR Reader works with the LANDAUER InLight dosimeter, providing you with a complete solution for onsite dosimetry using LANDAUER OSL technology. OSLR Readers perform both reading and annealing process with very high throughput.

Quality, Simplicity, and Reliability

LANDAUER OSLR Readers include an external computer loaded with Integrated Research Application System (IRAS) software. The software automatically captures barcoded dosimeter serial numbers, which facilitates chain of custody. The reader and  software provide control over setup, analysis, and database maintenance.

Quality Control (QC) procedures and data recording enable dosimeter readout, recording, and  monitoring of reader performance. You receive rapid, accurate radiation assessments that can help improve the efficiency and productivity of your program.

High-quality components are used for durability and to ensure repetitive and long term performances. All important components are automatically and periodically checked with built in QC procedures.

Traditional techniques with internal radioactive sources or external irradiators are no longer required. OSLR Readers use QC delivered samples, internal LEDs, and photodiodes to perform all QC tests.

Scalability

Select from four OLSR Readers to monitor the number of workers in your lab (1, 50, 250, 700). If your needs change, it's easy to upgrade the dosimeter capacity by changing to a larger loader. For small laboratories or emergency readouts, the OSLR1 is recommended.

OSL Technology

InLight dosimeters use our proprietary Al2O3:C Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL), which is used worldwide for radiation monitoring. The material
is manufactured by LANDAUER according to the highest standards and specifications.

OSL features and benefits:

• Fully Optical, No Heating: The readout process uses a light-emitting diode (LED) to stimulate the detectors, and the light emitted by the OSL material is detected and measured by a photomultiplier tube using a high-sensitivity photon counting system. The amount of light released during optical stimulation is directly proportional to the radiation dose and the intensity of stimulation light.
• Accreditation: Dose algorithms meet the requirements of the U.S. National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program and U.S. Department of Energy Laboratory Accreditation Program
• No Calibration Required: The dosimeter sensitivity is determined during the manufacturing process by an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. The sensitivity value engraved on the detector is automatically considered during the reading process.
• No Fading: InLight dosimeters make extended wear periods possible, with less than 5% fade in a year. The dosimeters can be reused for several years. The non-destructive readout process enables the dosimeters to be archived and re-read multiple times without corrections for fade.

OSLR Readers and InLight Dosimeters can be used for many applications:

• Occupational dosimetry
• Area monitoring
• Environmental monitoring
• On-site analysis
• Emergency response monitoring

InLight dosimeters monitor X, gamma, beta, and neutron radiation, and together with OSLR Readers, report Hp(10), Hp(0,07) and H*(10) dose.

Compliance with Standards

IEC 62387-1:2012 - We comply with passive integrating dosimetry systems for personal and environmental monitoring of photons and beta radiation for radiation protection instrumentation.

Many laboratories worldwide using LANDAUER dosimetry equipment are approved according to IS0/IEC 17025.

The LANDAUER laboratory is accredited by the National Voluntary Accreditation Program for ionizing radiation dosimetry, NVLAP LAB CODE 100518-0.
