Since 1954, LANDAUER has been providing state-of-the-art technology and unparalleled customer service within the radiation safety industry to better understand and document information related to occupational, environmental and health care-related exposure to ionizing radiation.
Robert S. Landauer, Jr., following in the scientific footsteps of his pioneering X-ray physicist father, started the company in the utility room of his Park Forest, Illinois home in 1954.
In 1956, with a single employee and a nascent joint venture with Nagase & Co in Tokyo, LANDAUER was incorporated.
In the 1960s, dosimeter processing was computerized, resulting in more than one million dosimeters digitally analyzed in 1964.
In 1968, a smaller user-oriented badge design and automated film reading system using 8 mm film was introduced.
In 1973, Thermoluminescence Dosimetry (TLD) service began making extremity badges possible. Workers whose fingers and hands were near ionizing radiation now had a specialized dosimeter that yielded specific exposure data. At the same time, LANDAUER Vision, a dosimeter designed to capture lens of eye exposure, debuted.
LANDAUER announced Signature Suite, a compliance documentation upgrade for its myLDR dosimetry account management platform. It enables Radiation Safety Officers and teams to use a fully digital workflow intended to reduce the time, risk, and effort involved in meeting regulatory requirements and preparing for inspections.
LANDAUER announced the fully digital "ALARA Service" for myLDR, which simplifies the management, tracking, and recording of ALARA notifications. It aims to reduce manual work for Radiation Safety Officers (RSO) and mitigate risks related to regulatory compliance.
LANDAUER announced that it has entered into two nationwide sole supply agreements with Premier, Inc. for radiation monitoring and medical physics consulting services. Starting September 1, 2025, Premier members can take advantage of special prices and terms negotiated in advance by Premier.
