Radiochromic Film Dosimeters

Designed for success

GEX manufactures pre-packaged radiochromic film dosimeters from the B3 film developed at Risø National Laboratory in Roskilde, Denmark. William McLaughlin, NIST Senior Scientist and Arne Miller, Director of the High Dose Reference Laboratory at Risø collaborated on the development and investigations performed with what is now referred to as B3 radiochromic film.

The radiochromic dye used to make B3 film is based on pararosaniline cyanide, turning from clear to deepening shades of purple with increased exposure to ionizing radiation sources. Change in the optical absorbance of the B3 film is measured in a standard spectrophotometer at a single wavelength of 554 nm over the entire range of use.

Ideal for gamma, e-beam & x-ray applications

B3 radiochromic film dosimeters are ideally suited for use in gamma, electron beam and x-ray applications, ensuring predictability and reliablity in your dose measurement process. Unique features make the B3 film dosimeters ideal for end users interested in the highest levels of quality and traceablity in their dosimetry programs. Features include:

  • Large batch size
  • Wide dose range
  • Flexibility in application
  • Single wavelength for readout
Products to fit your needs

GEX offers three different styles of B3 film dosimeters:

Quality Guaranteed

Our dosimeter products are manufactured in large industrial process-control batches, assuring that dosimeter response will remain highly uniform and predictable from batch to batch and within each batch. Every aspect of the dosimeter manufacturing process is strictly controlled: synthesis of the radiochromic dye; industrial film casting; cleanroon dosimeter packaging. Every roll of the film batch is sampled and tested for thickness uniformity and response function so you can know what to expect from your batch of dosimeters before and after calibration.
