Luxel®+

Details

Luxel+ enhances the best features of traditional film and thermoluminescent dosimter (TLD) technologies. Luxel+ exclusive state-of-the-art technology and advanced design features have set the new standard for the most comprehensive radiation dosimetry service available. The look of Luxel+ can be customized with a combination of graphic formats, backgrounds and department color-coding to help identify groups. Graphic formats change in color with each exchange frequency and each season has its own unique icon to distinguish wear dates. Icons on the label identify the location to wear the dosimeter. Luxel®+ LANDAUER – the Industry Leader – Setting the Highest Standards in Quality for more than 60 Years

Dosimeter

Luxel+ is an integrated, self-contained packet that comes preloaded, incorporating a thin strip of AI2O3:C (aluminum oxide) sandwiched within a multi-element filter pack that is heat sealed within a laminated, light-tight paper wrapper. The optional neutron detector is a CR-39 (allyl diglycol carbonate) based, solid-state nuclear track detector. It is not sensitive to x, gamma or beta radiation, and is incorporated into the Luxel+ dosimeter in an integrative, one-piece design. All of these components are RF sealed inside a temper-proof plastic blister pack. Mishandling, light leakage or lost detection elements are eliminated.

Durability

May be used for up to one year. Unaffected by heat, moisture and pressure when clear blister packaging is uncompromised.

Analysis Assurance

The AI2 O3 :C (aluminum oxide) detector can be restimulated numerous times to confirm the accuracy of a radiation dose measurement. A full reanalysis is automatically performed for every measurement yielding a dose in excess of 500 mrem. Imaging to identify static, dynamic, or contamination conditions is automatically performed for low-energy photon and all beta measurements yielding a dose exceeding 500 mrem.

Holder

The state-of-the art Finite Element Analysis study resulted in the development of the most durable holder available – simply snap the dosimeter into the holder with a secure clip.
