OSL whole-body dosimetry monitoring provides highly accurate radiation dose measurement for occupational exposure to X-ray and gamma radiation. ProxDose™ OSL monitoring programs combine advanced optically stimulated luminescence technology with streamlined ordering, compliant reporting, and long-term data reliability. Unlike traditional technologies, OSL dosimeters can be re-analyzed without degrading the stored signal—making them ideal for audits, investigations, dose reconstructions, and regulatory reviews.
OSL dosimeters use a tissue-equivalent material that stores energy when exposed to ionizing radiation. During analysis, controlled light stimulation releases this stored energy as luminescence, which is measured to determine dose.
Because the readout process does not erase the signal, OSL badges allow for repeat analysis, independent verification, and secure archival—supporting long-term confidence in reported results.

OSL (Optically Stimulated Luminescence) dosimetry uses light to release stored radiation energy from the badge material, while TLD uses heat. OSL badges can be re-read multiple times without degrading the signal, making them ideal for audits and investigations.
Yes. One of the key advantages of OSL dosimetry is re-read capability. Badges can be re-analyzed for verification, investigations, or regulatory review without loss of accuracy.
OSL whole-body badges measure X-ray and gamma radiation and are suitable for most medical, dental, veterinary, and environmental monitoring programs.
Yes. ProxDose™ OSL badges are processed under NVLAP-accredited methods (Lab Code: 100512-0) and meet applicable regulatory and industry standards.
OSL badges are available with monthly, quarterly, or annual reporting periods depending on your program requirements.
OSL badges are highly resistant to environmental factors such as heat and humidity and maintain stability during normal wear and shipping conditions.
