Testing labs in Hebron

RSA Laboratories, LLC — operating through its website at radpro.com as Radiation Safety Associates — is a specialized radiological instrument calibration and radiation safety services laboratory headquartered at 19 Pendleton Drive, Hebron, Connecticut 06248. In business for over thirty years, RSA Laboratories has established a strong regional and national reputation for delivering quick, personalized, and competitively priced calibration and compliance services. The laboratory's factory-trained technicians serve a broad range of clients that work with radioactive materials and ionizing radiation, including nuclear facilities, medical institutions, environmental monitoring agencies, research universities, and industrial radiation users. The cornerstone service at RSA Laboratories is the calibration of radiological measurement instruments of any brand or model. Primary calibrations are performed using Cesium-137 (Cs-137) as the reference isotope, with other isotopes available upon request to accommodate specific regulatory or operational requirements. All calibrations produce clear, fully-documented calibration certificates that record measured parameters and provide the traceability documentation needed to satisfy NRC, state, and institutional audit requirements. The transparent, published fee schedule — starting at $85.00 per survey meter — makes budgeting straightforward for clients managing large instrument inventories. RSA Laboratories calibrates a comprehensive spectrum of radiological instruments. Service coverage includes portable survey meters in both count rate and exposure rate configurations (covering up to four scales with one detector, with incremental pricing for additional scales and detectors), counter/scalers, single-channel analyzers, electronic dosimeters, alarming ratemeters, quartz-fiber pocket dosimeters, and air samplers and flow meters. For count rate survey meters, efficiency can be determined for virtually any user-specified isotopes. For air samplers handling radioactive iodine, efficiency for iodine-in-neck phantom geometry is included at no additional charge, a useful feature for nuclear medicine and reactor facilities. Beyond calibration, the laboratory operates a complete instrument repair and troubleshooting facility. Factory-trained technicians diagnose and correct a wide range of instrument faults, with repair billed on an hourly basis plus parts. Decontamination services are also available for detectors and instruments that have become contaminated during use, allowing equipment to be safely returned to service or prepared for shipment. Typical turnaround time for calibration and standard repair work is less than one week, with rush service available at an additional charge for time-critical operational situations. On-site calibration is an important differentiator in RSA Laboratories' service model. Technicians travel to client facilities to perform calibrations in place, eliminating the logistical burden and potential for shipping damage associated with sending sensitive radiological instruments through the mail. This is especially valuable for organizations with large fleets of instruments, heavy or fixed equipment, or instruments that are difficult to transport. Complementing this, RSA Laboratories provides a free calibration reminder service that proactively notifies clients when instruments are approaching their recalibration due date, helping facilities maintain continuous regulatory compliance without manual tracking overhead. RSA Laboratories further supports radiation safety compliance through its complete sealed-source leak test kit program. Facilities possessing sealed radioactive sources are required under both NRC and Agreement State regulations to conduct periodic leak tests, and RSA Laboratories provides a turnkey solution: a complete kit with easy-to-follow instructions, dry wipe and wet wipe sampling materials, and full radiochemical analysis for any isotope, priced at $35.00 per source. Upon receipt of the wipe samples, RSA Laboratories performs the analysis and emails a compliance certificate to the client within three business days, making it straightforward for any licensed facility to satisfy its regulatory obligations on schedule. All calibration services performed by RSA Laboratories meet or exceed the guidelines established by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The laboratory holds NRC License No. 06-30007-01, authorizing possession and use of radioactive reference materials for calibration purposes — a regulatory authorization that requires ongoing demonstration of personnel qualifications, procedural controls, and safety standards. With more than three decades of continuous operation and a direct-contact service model anchored by principal contact Kurt Newton (reachable at calibrations@radpro.com or 860-228-0721), RSA Laboratories represents a proven, reliable calibration partner for any organization operating under radiation safety regulations.
