As one of the leading suppliers of both consumer and professional electronic radon detection equipment, Ecosense has made a strong commitment to have its products available for independent third party testing. The results to date are persuasive and have surprised radon professionals.
As is well known, rigorous laboratory-based determinations of radon concentration and the extension of the conclusions from such work to real world measurements are not a simple matter. For instance, there are known effects of ambient temperature and humidity, low count rates leading to issues of signal-to-noise ratio, and there can be dramatic day-to-day variations of radon level in buildings depending upon, among other factors, weather, ventilation, and air circulation. Precision can suffer even more so than accuracy.
Herein, we summarize the results of radon chamber testing with Ecosense products to date: 1) A study by the University of Michigan. 2) A study by the Kansas Radon Program at Kansas State University. 3) A study by Gimpo University in the Republic of Korea.
Ecosense’s Radon Detection Products

Ecosense's RadonEye is a consumer-focused product. It features Bluetooth (BLE) connectivity with smartphones, and is compatible with either 108 or Android platforms. Every ten minutes, the RadonEye updates its OLED display with the rolling one-hour average of its last six every-ten-minute measurements. Averages over longer periods of time (daily and monthly) also scroll continuously across the bottom of the OLED display. Via the smartphone app, a graphical visualization of all accumulated data may also be displayed.
