Radiation Monitoring Hardware- Brochure

The InLight® Dosimetry System is an example of LanDauer® Fleximetry, the industry’s most flexible dosimetry program. This flexibility lets you choose from the options below that best meet your organizational requirements.InLight® Complete Dosimetry System SolutionmicroStar® Dosimetry ReaderManufacturingreceiving/analysisannealing shippingassignMent/packagingasseMblylabel printingarchiving receivingDisasseMblyanalytical harDwareanalysisinlight® whole bodymicrostar® Dosimetry readerinlight® nanoDot™The microStar® reader is a compact, lightweight, portable reader that can be taken anywhere that immediate dose results are required. Just as accurate and effective as LANDAUER’s® InLight® Auto 200 and Auto 500 readers, it is used in conjunction with our propriety aluminum oxide (Al2O3:C) detectors to measure radiation dose using a patented optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) readout technology.InLight® Complete Dosimetry System Solution: microStar® Dosimetry Readercorporate Office 2 Science Road Glenwood, Illinois 60425 800 323 8830 www.landauer.com4004.1/2012.LCP©2012 LANDAUER, Inc.

Its software can accommodate multiple user-defined calibrations, allowing the microStar® to be used in a variety of radiation environments for accurate analysis, and providing maximum flexibility based on the dosimetry application. The computation of dose from measured data is transparent and automated, employing a simple linear calibration in the lower dose range and a nonlinear 2nd order quadratic fit for calibrations in the higher dose range. A variety of user-selectable dose units are available (mrem, mrad, mSv and cGy), and output data can be custom-formatted and exported in XLS, PDF, XML or CSV formats. features and benefitsn Portable—ideal for in-field use or in locations requiring immediate analysis, whether for emergency response activities or for patient dose monitoring in a clinical settingn Appropriate for smaller facilities (<10,000 participants; little or no automation)n One dosimeter read-out at a time; fast, efficient throughput with read-out in 13 secondsn Works with a laptop computer; can be networked with additional microStar® readersn Non-destructive readout allows for reanalysisn No dosimeter preparation requiredn No annealing requiredn No heating parameters to maintainn No nitrogen gas requiredn Effective replacement for older radiation measuring technologies (e.g., TLD)technical specificationsDose operating range: For general applications, useful dose range from 10 µGy to >100 Gy; for medical dosimetry applications, linear response with dose up to 300 rad (cGy), software-supported non-linear calibration up to 1500 rad (cGy)speed: readout in 3.5 seconds for nanoDot™ dosimeters, or 13 sec. for other InLight® dosimeterscapacity: 1 dosimeterenergy dependence: accurate within ±10% over diagnostic energy range 70-140 kVp; within ±5% for photons and electrons from 5 MeV-20 MeVleD array: 36size: 4.3"Hx12.9"Wx9.1"Dpower requirements: 110–220V, 1.5 amps, 50–60 Hzweight: 17.7 lb.bar code input: Keyboard; external bar code Corporate Office reader; file upload
