TLD-100 to 900 are synthesized by Harshaw (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.), MTS and MCP TLDs by TLD Poland, GR TLDs by SDDML (Solid Dosimetric Detector and Method Laboratory), PTL-717 TLDs by Desmarquest-CEC, and nanoDots OSLDs by Landauer.

The luminescent responses of the dosimeters are independent of the dose rate over the considered linearity ranges (up to1000 MGy s−1 for Harshaw TLDs).
