In this scenario, the present paper aims to demonstrate the viability of combining 3D printing through stereolithography (SLA) technique with optically stimulated (OSL) technology of beryllium-oxide (BeO) commercial crystals in manufacturing a dosimeter holder to be used in wrist-type dosimeters for photons.

In addition, rapid and reliable measurements are crucial for time-sensitive samples such as short-lived isotopes or emergency situations. The objective of this study is to describe the limits of detection, cost, and relative ease for measurement of Ra in both low and high salinity aqueous samples via three analytical methods: liquid scintillation counting (LSC), high purity germanium (HPGe) gamma spectrometry, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).

Although HPGe detection with solid phase extraction had the lowest limit of detection for low salinity samples (0.27 Bq L<sup>−1</sup>), poor <sup>226</sup>Ra recovery for high salinity samples and high materials costs make this method prohibitive for many users. Limits of detection for high salinity samples were lower for LSC (1.28 Bq L<sup>−1</sup>) than for ICP-MS without dilution (11.4 Bq L<sup>−1</sup>), but significant and unexpected degradation of the high salinity LSC standards was observed after six months.
