myOSL™ Chip — what the literature says.

Two independent 2025 peer-reviewed studies — Kowalski et al. (Duke) and Davis et al. (UVA), both in the Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics — characterise the BeO myOSL Chip and show it meeting or beating a discontinued Al2O3:C reference OSL chip in every clinical modality tested.
