mb-microtec ag is the world’s leading manufacturer of Gaseous Tritium Light Sources (GTLS).  The family owned company with approx. 60 plus employees is situated in the village of Niederwangen; on the outskirts of the Swiss Capital of Berne.

Gaseous Tritium Light Sources (GTLS)

mb-microtec ag specialises in the development testing, manufacturing and supply of GTLS in various sizes and shapes for use in numerous products within the civilian, military and OEM industries.
The company provides GTLS to a large number of OEM worldwide for use in their products which includes products such as Watches, Compass, Map-Readers, Route Markers, Arch Markers and Gun sights.
The company also assists in the development and manufacture of products to customer specification, as well as acting as consultants for issues involving licencing, the safe handling, disposal and re cycling of Tritium.

GLTS are glass forms in various shapes, sizes and colors produced from borosilicate glass (Pyrex) the smallest being just 0.5mm in diameter and 1.6mm in length which are coated internally with phosphorescent material and then filled with tritium gas. The forms are extremely safe, are hermetically sealed and are not affected by water, oil and most other corrosive materials.

Tritium was discovered in 1934 by Ernest Rutherford, ML Oliphant and Paul Harteck, tritium (T, or H3) is the third isotope of hydrogen. It is unstable and disintegrates whilst sending out beta radiation (electrons) and has a half-life time of 12.3 years. During this transition, each atom emits just one electron, which leaves the core with a maximum energy of approx. 18 KeV. The energy is very low compared with other radioactive isotopes, which means the electron is unable to penetrate the human skin and can be stopped easily by a sheet of paper. This makes it extremely safe when used in combination with our GTLS. As the Tritium is in a gaseous form and lighter than air, should a GTLS break the gas disperses to the atmosphere at over 3m/sec

Trigalight® Technology

mb-microtec ag manufactures trigalights in a number of different shapes sizes and colours .
