What Mi.am S.r.l does

Mi.am S.r.l is an Italian specialist in radon and thoron measurement, founded in 1994 by physicist Antonio Parravicini in Piacenza and operating with a 6-person team. The company sells professional measurement instruments, runs an ACCREDIA-accredited dosimetry laboratory (accreditation n. 02253 under UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018), provides consulting and mitigation-support services, and delivers the RADON 360 training program. Its customers are Italian and international professionals requiring regulatory-compliant radon measurement — primarily public and private entities subject to D.Lgs. 101/2020, regional environmental agencies (ARPAs), universities and research institutions, measurement service companies, and radon mitigation professionals.

The product portfolio splits into two layers. Active electronic monitors include the ÆR² (photodiode-based real-time monitor), CRM-LPT (high-sensitivity ionization chamber with environmental and VOC sensing), Radon Mapper (scintillation cell monitor with cloud data access and water/soil accessories Acquakit, Acquaplex, and Soilkit), P-30 (alpha-spectrometry field monitor using PIPS silicon detectors, launched 2024), and ARANET (ionization chamber with Bluetooth/app connectivity). Passive dosimetry systems include the E-Perm electret ion chamber family and the Radout® holder for CR-39 detectors, read by the proprietary Politrack® nuclear track analysis system developed with Politecnico di Milano. Underlying technologies span ionization chambers, electret ion chambers, scintillation cells, and alpha spectrometry with solid-state silicon detectors.

Mi.am's business model combines one-time instrument sales (own brands plus Italian distribution of Algade, Femto-Tech, Pylon Electronics, and Rad Elec products) with recurring professional services — accredited dosimetry, NIST-traceable calibration (authorized for Rad Elec SPER-1 readers), maintenance, mitigation technical support, and fee-based training. Distribution is direct via website, phone, and email from a single Piacenza headquarters; an English-language site supports international lab services. The company is privately held, founder-owned, with no institutional funding and no disclosed revenue, and competes on metrological accuracy validated by intercomparisons (BfS, PSI, NIRS, SURO, METAS 2020) and on a portfolio of regulatory accreditations spanning Italy, Switzerland, and Romania.
