Reliable Thermoluminescent Dosimeters for Precision Radiation Monitoring
Radiation Detection Measure delivers advanced TLD solutions built for B2B scalability, high sensitivity, and seamless North American integration
Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLDs) are essential tools for monitoring accumulated ionizing radiation exposure over time. These passive devices store energy when exposed to radiation, which is later released as light when heated—allowing precise calculation of the radiation dose received. Known for their durability, accuracy, and reusability, TLDs are widely used in personal dosimetry, environmental monitoring, and research applications across sectors such as healthcare, nuclear energy, defense, and academic institutions.
In B2B environments across North America, organizations depend on advanced TLD systems to meet regulatory requirements, ensure personnel safety, and improve operational oversight. Radiation Detection Measure provides comprehensive TLD solutions, backed by trusted technologies and expert support. From compact badge-type dosimeters to automated readout systems and cloud-based dose management platforms, we offer complete, scalable systems that empower institutions to monitor radiation exposure with confidence.
In addition to offering products and systems developed by our team and trusted partners for Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD), we are proud to carry top-tier technologies from Global Advanced Operations Tek Inc. (GAO Tek Inc.) and Global Advanced Operations RFID Inc. (GAO RFID Inc.). These reliable, high-quality products and systems enhance our ability to deliver comprehensive technologies, integrations, and services you can trust. Where relevant, we have provided direct links to select products and systems from GAO Tek Inc. and GAO RFID Inc.

Case Studies
United States (Healthcare Sector)
A major oncology center in Illinois deployed a fully integrated TLD system from Radiation Detection Measure to monitor staff exposure in PET and radiotherapy units. The cloud-enabled dashboard allowed real-time compliance tracking for over 300 badge users with minimal administrative overhead.
United States (Nuclear Power Plant)
In Pennsylvania, a nuclear facility implemented our rugged TLD solutions to monitor operational staff in high-radiation zones. With automated readers and site-wide cloud reporting, the plant achieved 100% badge compliance while improving turnaround time for dose audits.
Canada (Research Laboratory)
A Canadian university’s radiophysics department adopted our hybrid GAO Tek-based TLD and RFID solution to track individual researcher exposure across multiple experimental areas. This enhanced both safety compliance and data correlation with experimental timelines.
