RMD Instruments
Since 1974 RMD has been providing innovative solutions across a broad range of security, medical and industrial applications, including radiation imaging and detection, nuclear instrumentation and non-destructive test equipment.
Radiation Monitoring Devices, Inc., (RMD) is the research business unit of Dynasil Corporation of America. Since 1974 RMD has been a world leader in providing innovative solutions across a broad range of security, medical and industrial applications, including radiation imaging and detection, nuclear instrumentation and non-destructive test equipment. RMD has technology practices in material science, radiation detection, digital imaging technology, magnetic imaging, laser optics and photonics.
RMD is “the science behind the technology” at Dynasil. Our research serves as the incubator for new product innovation, directly supporting the commercialization efforts of Dynasil’s Products and Technologies business segment. We believe what differentiates our organization is this enviable combination of world-class research and manufacturing. This combination enables us to be far more nimble and efficient in advancing products from the research lab to the marketplace. For example research performed on our ground breaking dual-mode scintillation crystals has flowed from the RMD’s Watertown, Mass lab to Dynasil’s Hilger Crystals division, where it is being commercialized. We are also collaborating with Dynasil Products on RMD’s digital dosimeters research, and on Dynasil Products RadCam gamma detection system.
Major U.S. government agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office, the Department of Energy, the Department of Defense, the National Institutes of Health, NASA and the National Science Foundation support our work in developing specialized technologies to make the world a safer and healthier place. In recognition of our work and our outstanding contributions to the SBIR program, the U.S. Small Business Administration awarded RMD the National Tibbett’s Award in 2002 and again in 2012.

The Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) regulations of the European Union, and similar regulations being enacted around the world, require the virtual elimination of lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr6), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) from electronic products. Allowable concentration levels in any homogeneous material contained within a product are extremely low: 0.01% for Cd and 0.1% for other substances by weight. The most significant issue affecting the practical validation of RoHS compliance in the day-to-day assembly environment is ensuring that no restricted substances, especially tin-lead (SnPb) materials, have inadvertently entered into the production stream....
