Radiation Testing Laboratory in Delhi: Accurate Radiological Analysis
AumNamah is a radioanalytical laboratory in New Delhi serving organisations that need measurements of radioactivity in samples. Our radiation testing enquiries cover water, food, environmental media and industrial materials, with the analytical approach selected for the radionuclides and sample matrix of interest.
What laboratory radiation testing can tell you
Laboratory testing measures the submitted material under defined analytical conditions. Depending on the test, it can provide an overall activity screen or identify and quantify selected radionuclides. Explain whether the question concerns background radioactivity, a known process-related isotope, an unusual screening result or a customer specification. This determines which measurements will be useful.
Choose between alpha, beta and gamma analysis
Different radionuclides emit different types of radiation, so one measurement cannot answer every question. Gamma spectrometry examines characteristic gamma energies. Gross alpha and beta measurements provide screening information, while targeted radiochemical methods can support isotope-specific investigations. Our team can review the measurement objective before confirming the analytical scope.
Separate sample activity from site radiation surveys
A sample result usually describes activity or activity concentration, such as Bq/L or Bq/kg. A site survey or personal exposure assessment asks a different question and may require different equipment and expertise. This page concerns laboratory sample analysis. Contact the team to clarify any field measurement requirement before assuming it is included.
Preparing your sample
Start with the sample type, suspected radionuclides and reason for analysis. Include previous reports and any required detection limit. Confirm acceptance and transport arrangements before sending material with known or suspected elevated activity. The team will advise on the sample information needed for the agreed work.

- Submit the agreed sample. Follow the laboratory's handling instructions and include a completed service request form.
Frequently asked questions
Is sample testing the same as a radiation survey?
No. Laboratory analysis characterises a submitted sample. A field survey measures radiation at a location and requires a separately defined service.
Which radiation test should I request?
Describe the material and the question you need to answer. A gross activity screen, gamma spectrometry or isotope-specific analysis may be appropriate depending on the objective.
Can a single analysis identify every radioactive isotope?
No. Analytical methods have defined capabilities and detection limits. Agree the target radionuclides and sample matrix before testing.
