University spin-off company Track Analysis Systems Ltd (TASL), which manufactures radiation detectors and laboratory analysis systems for radiation research, has received a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the category of Innovation.
TASL was founded by researchers from Bristol’s School of Physics, and uses University research in the manufacture of its radiation-sensitive plastic film detector TASTRAK, and its computerised TASLIMAGE radiation analysis systems.
