Radonova AB

What Radonova AB does

Radonova Laboratories AB is a Swedish radon measurement company founded in 1986 in Uppsala by researchers from Uppsala University in the wake of the Chernobyl nuclear accident, originally as Gammadata Mätteknik. The company operates a globally distributed radon measurement laboratory under ISO 17025 accreditation held continuously since October 1995, and is a subsidiary within the Lagercrantz Group. It employs between 11 and 50 people and reports activity in more than 80 countries with cumulative sales exceeding 20 million detectors.

The company's commercial offering combines passive alpha-track detectors (Radtrak³®, Rapidos®, Duotrak®, Ecotrak®), continuous digital radon monitors (SPIRIT Radonlogger with LoRaWAN connectivity, ATMOS radon sniffer, MARKUS 10 soil instrument, ROBIN2, EcoQube), and accredited laboratory services including radon-in-water, thoron, low-concentration radon detection (down to 5 Bq/m³), caesium-137 measurement in food, and personal radon dosimetry for occupational exposure. Distribution is multi-channel: direct e-commerce through radonovalaboratories.com, 15+ localized country websites, an international distributor network, lung-association channel partnerships in Canada, and direct enterprise sales for mining and government customers. Pricing is unit-based, with passive detectors at €50-€105, the SPIRIT logger at €1,190, and the ATMOS sniffer at SEK 89,450.

The business model is hybrid hardware-plus-services: detector and instrument sales generate one-time hardware revenue, while personal dosimetry, calibration, and recurring connectivity (SPIRIT HUB subscription at £3/month) provide repeat revenue. Customer segments span individual homeowners, workplaces subject to radiation-protection regulations (notably the EU BSSD transposition), schools, and mining/NORM industries such as LKAB. Recent strategic moves include the December 2024 acquisition of Track Analysis Systems, the earlier absorption of Gammadata Instruments' radon measurement division (2019), and active scaling of the SPIRIT continuous-monitoring platform past 1,500 cumulative units by mid-2026.

Scale indicators9 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Thermo Fisher Scientific: Thermo Fisher is a global analytical instruments and laboratory services conglomerate with relevant products in radiation detection, environmental monitoring, and laboratory analysis. It serves overlapping customer workflows in environmental and food caesium/radionuclide testing that Radonova addresses.
• Sun Nuclear (Mirion): Mirion Technologies (parent of Sun Nuclear and formerly including Landauer) is a global leader in radiation measurement, dosimetry, and detection equipment. As Radonova's historical predecessor was once Landauer Nordic, Mirion is both a former parent lineage and a broad incumbent in adjacent occupational radiation dosimetry markets.

Others

• Ecosense Inc. Ecosense is a US technology partner that developed the EcoQube radon monitor now distributed by Radonova. It is a partner/supplier with overlapping consumer radon monitoring technology, partially competing with Radonova in digital instruments through alternative distribution.

Direct peers

• Durridge Company Inc. Durridge is a US-based manufacturer of radon detection equipment (CAPTURE, RAD7, RAD AQUA) used in homes, workplaces, and labs globally. It is one of the closest direct competitors to Radonova across both passive detectors and continuous radon monitors.
• AccuStar Labs / Radon.com: AccuStar Labs operates radon.com and is one of the largest radon measurement laboratories in the United States, offering mail-in charcoal canisters and professional radon test kits. It is a direct US-headquartered peer to Radonova's mail-in detector + lab-analysis model.
• Bertin Instruments: Bertin Instruments (part of the CNIM group) manufactures radiation detection and monitoring instruments including radon monitors (AlphaGUARD) used in occupational and environmental radon measurement. It is a direct European competitor to Radonova's ATMOS and MARKUS product lines.
• Radon Environmental: Radon Environmental is a Canadian radon measurement company that distributes Radonova products and competes directly in the North American consumer and workplace radon testing market. Both companies are C-NRPP-aligned and serve overlapping lung association distribution channels.

Emerging players

• Airthings ASA: Airthings is a Norway-based consumer smart radon monitor company (Wave, Wave Mini, Wave Radon) with strong DTC and retail distribution. It competes with Radonova's EcoQube/SPIRIT consumer instruments at lower price points and represents the leading brand in connected radon monitors for homeowners.

Regional players

• Radon Mitigation & Environmental Consultants: US-based radon mitigation and measurement service providers (e.g., AARST-affiliated regional operators) offer competing mail-in and on-site radon measurement in the North American market. They overlap with Radonova in consumer testing but are typically regional rather than global.
• Canberra / Mirion Packard: Canberra (now part of Mirion) manufactures high-purity germanium detectors and laboratory radiation measurement systems used in radionuclide analysis including radon-in-water and caesium testing. It is a complementary/competing supplier in the analytical laboratory instrumentation layer where Radonova operates.
