New Dosimetry Monitoring Service launched

Thermo Fisher Scientific’s new dosimetry monitoring service has been launched. It enables facility operators at facilities with radiation safety requirements, such as dental surgeries, medical and imaging facilities, veterinary clinics and laboratories to accurately monitor and track individual employee accumulated radiation dose. Facilities can now deploy the Thermo Scientific Harshaw thermoluminescence dosimeter which is designed to accurately measure gamma, beta and neutron doses and is durable and easy to wear in a ring, wristband or headband. Facilities operators can use Thermo Scientific Dosimetry Services to deliver dosimeters, read and store cumulative data, and produce recurrent dose reports.

Thermo Fisher Scientific’s VP and general manager, Field and Safety Instruments, Julie Planchet, said: “After years of working with customers on dosimetry selection and deployment we realized we could streamline the process, especially at smaller facilities, by removing much of the burden from them. This new service gives facility management teams an easier way to track occupational doses, monitor exposure over time and handle much of the complexity of compliance record-keeping and reporting.”
