What femto TECH does

femto-TECH, INC. is a Carlisle, Ohio-based manufacturer of radiation detection instrumentation, founded in 1986 and operating as a privately held, bootstrapped corporation with 11-50 employees. The company designs and produces continuous radon monitors (CRM-LPT, CRM-510LP, CRM-510LPB, CRM-510LP/CO) and tritium monitoring systems (U24-D universal controller with interchangeable ion chambers, PTM-1812 handheld monitor), all built on a proprietary patented pulsed ion chamber technology with NIST-traceable calibration. A free cross-platform Rad-Lab software suite (Desktop, Mobile, Blind editions) supports data download, report generation, and integration with Air Chek's certified laboratory for blind CRM analysis.

The company operates a hybrid revenue model: one-time device sales, a no-setup-fee monthly rental program with automatic calibration replacement, annual calibration services ($195-$950 per device depending on type), repair services at $150/hr plus parts, and custom tritium equipment for nuclear and defense applications. Distribution combines direct e-commerce (store.femto-tech.com), government procurement, and a five-country international distributor network covering the UK, Ireland, Italy, Japan, and Korea. Customer segments include radon measurement professionals (AARST-NRPP certified), U.S. federal and state government agencies (EPA, DoD, DoE), the nuclear industry, and homeowners and home inspectors. All CRM devices carry AARST-NRPP certifications that are required by many state regulations.
