TLD 100 Chips, Single.

• Optically transparent chips

• Simulate “point detector” in medical physics applications

• Reusable hundreds of times

• Independent of dose rate up to 100 MGy/s

• Long term response retention

• Nearly tissue-equivalent

• ±15% sample-to-sample uniformity

• Repeatability to within 2% or better.

Approximate tissue equivalence

• Z - 8.14 (LiF)

• Z - 7.64 (AIR)

• Z - 7 .42 (TISSUE)

Consistent, well-controlled and repeatable procedures are key to successful TLD.  Variations in annealing temperature will affect dosimeter sensitivity. 

When using TLDs, vacuum tweezers should always be used.  Mechanical tweezers and fingers should not be used.

Optional
155-005:  Tolerance Sorting ± 5% per TLD Chip
