Precision-Driven Dosimetry Processing & Laboratory Support
PROXDOSE™ Laboratory Operations form the backbone of our radiation monitoring and evaluation programs. Our lab workflows are designed to deliver accurate, repeatable, and defensible dose results, supported by controlled processes, calibrated systems, and rigorous quality oversight.
From badge receipt through final data validation, every step is managed to ensure traceability, compliance, and confidence in reported results.
Dosimetry Processing (TLD / OSL)
We provide end-to-end processing for both Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLD) and Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) systems. Each dosimeter is processed using validated reader protocols and correction factors to ensure precise dose calculation and consistent performance across monitoring cycles.
Capabilities include:
- Whole-body, extremity, fetal, and area dosimeter processing
- Controlled environmental handling
- Multi-element analysis and verification
- Secure data capture and archiving
Calibration & Irradiation
Accurate dosimetry depends on controlled calibration. Our laboratory supports routine and program-specific calibration and irradiation services to ensure dosimeters and readers perform within established tolerances.
Services include:
- Source-based irradiation for verification and testing
- Reader calibration support
- Program checks for ongoing performance assurance
ECF Testing & Validation
Element Correction Factors (ECFs) are critical to normalizing individual dosimeter response. PROXDOSE™ performs ECF testing and validation to account for minor variations in dosimeter sensitivity and material response.
This process improves:
- Measurement accuracy
- Inter-badge consistency
- Long-term reliability of dose data
Reader Maintenance & Repair
We support stable laboratory operations through reader maintenance and repair services, helping extend equipment life and reduce operational downtime.
Support includes:
- Preventive maintenance guidance
- Troubleshooting and diagnostics
- Refurbishment and repair coordination
- Performance verification after service
Badge Handling & Inventory Control
Chain-of-custody and inventory control are essential to reliable monitoring programs. Our laboratory procedures ensure secure badge handling, accurate tracking, and controlled storage throughout the monitoring lifecycle.
Controls include:
- Intake and assignment verification
- Inventory reconciliation
- Controlled storage and environmental protection
- Return and reuse workflows where applicable

Laboratory Operations – Frequently Asked Questions
What types of dosimeters does PROXDOSE™ process?
PROXDOSE™ processes both Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLD) and Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dosimeters. Our laboratory supports whole-body, extremity, fetal, and area monitoring configurations using validated processing workflows.
How does PROXDOSE™ ensure accurate dose measurements?
Accuracy is achieved through controlled laboratory procedures, calibrated reader systems, and the application of Element Correction Factors (ECFs). Each dosimeter is evaluated using standardized protocols to account for individual sensitivity variations and ensure consistent dose reporting.
What is Element Correction Factor (ECF) testing?
ECF testing is used to normalize differences in response among individual dosimeter elements. By applying an ECF, PROXDOSE™ improves measurement precision and ensures that reported doses accurately reflect true radiation exposure.
Does PROXDOSE™ perform dosimeter calibration and irradiation?
Yes. Our laboratory supports calibration and irradiation services used for program verification, performance checks, and quality assurance activities. These processes help confirm that dosimeters and readers operate within required tolerances.
How are dosimeter readers maintained and supported?
PROXDOSE™ provides guidance and technical support for reader maintenance and repair, including troubleshooting, performance verification, and refurbishment coordination. This helps minimize downtime and extend equipment service life.
How does PROXDOSE™ manage badge handling and inventory control?
All dosimeters are tracked through controlled intake, assignment, and storage procedures. Our laboratory maintains strict inventory control and chain-of-custody practices to protect badge integrity and ensure traceable, reliable monitoring results.
Are laboratory operations documented and auditable?
Yes. Laboratory activities are performed in accordance with documented procedures aligned with quality and compliance requirements. Records are maintained to support audits, program reviews, and regulatory inquiries when required.
Who uses PROXDOSE™ laboratory services?
Our laboratory operations support medical, dental, veterinary, industrial, environmental, and government programs, providing scalable services for organizations of all sizes.
