Instrument: Liquid Scintillation Counter

Instrument Short Name: LSC
Instrument Description:

Liquid scintillation counting is an analytical technique which is defined by the incorporation of the radiolabeled analyte into uniform distribution with a liquid chemical medium capable of converting the kinetic energy of nuclear emissions into light energy. Although the liquid scintillation counter is a sophisticated laboratory counting system used the quantify the activity of particulate emitting (ß and a) radioactive samples, it can also detect the auger electrons emitted from 51Cr and 125I samples.

Dataset-specific description

Tubes were then placed in to a liquid scintillation counter (Beckman LS-6500) overnight and measured disintegrations per minute (DPM) for live samples were corrected using DPM recorded for killed controls.
