Alanine film dosimeters, manufactured by Kodak, are used for high-accuracy absorbed dose measurements in radiation processing. They provide stable and well-characterized dosimetric performance, making them highly suitable for applications requiring precision and reproducibility. Like alanine pellets, the film works by generating stable free radicals upon irradiation. The absorbed dose is then quantified using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy.
These films are used in a wide range of industrial contexts, including routine process control, calibration, and reference dosimetry. Covering a dose range from 1 to 120 kGy, they are versatile and robust, offering a reliable solution across different irradiation conditions. At Risø HDRL, calibrations are performed in accordance with CIRM 29 guidelines, ensuring traceability to national and international standards and compliance with globally accepted procedures.
