Core offering

LND designs, engineers, and manufactures gas-filled nuclear radiation detectors sold as finished hardware components. Its catalog spans over 1,000 designs across Geiger-Mueller tubes, ionization chambers, X-ray proportional counters, and neutron detectors (BF3, Boron-lined, He3, fission chambers, proton recoil), supported by a patent-protected Enhanced Sensitivity Neutron Detection Module (NDM) that delivers Helium-3-equivalent performance. Six of the company's electron tubes are QPL-qualified for U.S. Department of Defense procurement.

Product overview

LND is a designer and manufacturer of nuclear radiation detectors, offering over a thousand different product designs. The product portfolio includes five core product lines: Ionization Chambers (for measuring ionization from alpha, beta, gamma, and neutron radiation), Geiger-Mueller Tubes (operating in the GM region for radiation counting), Neutron Detectors (utilizing BF3, Boron-lined, Fission Chamber, He3, and Proton Recoil technologies), X-Ray Proportional Counters (for proportional detection of X-rays), and Special Products (Anti-coincidence Detectors and Gas Sampling Counters). The company also holds a patent for an Enhanced Sensitivity Neutron Detection Module (NDM) using boron trifluoride. LND serves Department of Defense procurement with QPL-qualified products and has six electron tubes qualified for DoD procurement.

Products and services

• Ionization Chambers Gas-filled detectors that measure ionization current produced by alpha, beta, gamma, and neutron radiation; available in End Window Beta-Gamma, Gamma, and Neutron Sensitive configurations for nuclear facility safety monitoring, environmental measurement, and industrial radiation detection applications.
• Geiger-Mueller Tubes Geiger-Mueller region radiation detectors for counting alpha, beta, and gamma radiation; available in Energy Compensated (with tin filtering for uniform gamma energy response), Gamma, QPL Qualified (for DoD procurement), Thin Wall Beta-Gamma, and Thin Window Alpha-Beta-Gamma configurations. Used in defense, scientific, industrial, and medical applications.
• Neutron Detectors Neutron radiation detectors based on multiple technologies: BF3 (cylindrical, spherical, quadrilateral, beam monitor), Boron-10 lined (gamma compensated ion chambers, neutron ion chambers, neutron proportional counters), Fission Chambers, He3 (cylindrical, position sensitive, quadrilateral, spherical), and Proton Recoil Counters (cylindrical, spherical); serves nuclear safety, neutron science, defense, and aerospace customers.
• X-Ray Proportional Counters Gas proportional counters designed for X-ray detection, offered in cylindrical end window, cylindrical side window, flow proportional, large area beta-gamma, pancake style, position sensitive, and quadrilateral configurations for X-ray analysis, materials science, and industrial measurement applications.
• Special Products (Anti-coincidence Detectors and Gas Sampling Counters) Specialized radiation detectors including Anti-coincidence Detectors (for background suppression in sensitive counting applications) and Gas Sampling Counters (for monitoring radioactive gas concentrations); designed for specific scientific, environmental, and industrial use cases not covered by the standard product lines.
• Enhanced Sensitivity Neutron Detection Module (NDM) Patent-protected neutron detection module using boron trifluoride as the detection medium that achieves sensitivities equivalent to Helium-3 systems of the same physical dimensions, functioning as an ideal drop-in replacement for Helium-3 systems already deployed in the field; incorporates BF3 adsorbent and ambient fill pressure safety features for global customers facing the He-3 supply shortage.

• Exosens (formerly Photonis): Exosens manufactures neutron and gamma detection tubes, including He-3 proportional counters and scintillator-based detectors, supplying defense, nuclear, and scientific-research customers with overlapping technology to LND's portfolio.
• Ludlum Measurements: Ludlum designs and manufactures portable and fixed radiation detection instruments including GM-based survey meters and area monitors, serving nuclear power, defense, and emergency-response customers that overlap with LND's industrial and government segments.
• Centronic (part of Finden): Centronic designs and manufactures gas-filled radiation detectors including GM tubes, proportional counters, and BF3 and He3 neutron detectors, competing directly with LND in the scientific research and nuclear-industry markets.
• Radiation Detection Technologies: A smaller specialist in neutron and fission chamber detectors, directly competing with LND's BF3, fission chamber, and He-3 product lines in nuclear safeguards and physics-research applications.
• S.E.A. Co. (Science Applications International Corporation radiation detection unit): S.E.A. Co. designs and manufactures radiation detection and measurement systems for nuclear safeguards, homeland security, and defense, with overlapping customer relationships to LND's QPL defense and government business.
• Berkeley Nucleonics: Berkeley Nucleonics supplies radiation detection instruments, isotope identifiers, and neutron detection systems to nuclear facilities, homeland-security agencies, and research labs — overlapping with LND's government and industrial customer base.

Broad incumbents

• Thermo Fisher Scientific (Radiation Measurement & Security): Through its radiation measurement and security portfolios (formerly Thermo Scientific and earlier global acquisitions), Thermo Fisher supplies radiation detection and monitoring systems to nuclear, defense, and research customers, offering broader instrumentation platforms than LND's specialized tube focus.
• Hitachi High-Tech (radiation measurement): Hitachi's radiation measurement division supplies a broad range of detectors and monitoring instruments to nuclear power, research, and environmental customers, competing with LND in industrial and scientific research applications as part of a larger analytical-instrument portfolio.
