>We switched to Landauer last year and have been less than impressed with
the customer service.  It also seems that we have recorded more exposures in
the 10-30 mrem range even when the individual hasn't been on campus during
the monitoring period.  Repeated calls to Landauer are ususally "treated
with a shrug"  and the comment that "it really isn't a significant
exposure".  We have also had incorrect badges sent on at least one
occassion.  On the other hand,  their prices are very competitive.  

In this case all standard disclaimers apply.
