A new cocktail for liquid scintillation counting of aqueous radioimmunoassay-samples.

The aim of this investigation was to find a scintillation mixture for counting up to 1 ml of plasma. We succeeded in obtaining a mixture of xylene/Triton X-100/mono- and di-butylphosphate, and called it Plasmasol. The properties were ideal for radioimmunoassays of steroids. Good dissolving properties, high counting efficiency, absence of chemiluminescence and a good stability and reproducibility with respect to the disintegrations per minute were achieved. The cost was only 25% of the commercially available ready-to-use liquid scintillation mixtures, with which a comparison was made.

Liquid scintillation counting of 55Fe applied to air-filter samples.

A simple and rapid method has been improved for determination of low specific activity of 55Fe with a liquid scintillation counter. High counting efficiency was obtained for a sample containing up to 150 mg of iron using mixture of a colorless solution of phosphate iron complex and an emulsifier liquid scintillator. The detection limit was 0.31 Bq (8.4 pCi) per gram iron assuming the counting for 1000 minutes and 95% confidence level. This counting method was applied to determination of 55Fe in air-filter samples.

A sub-boiling distillation method for the preparation of low carbon content water from urine samples for tritium measurement by liquid scintillation counting.

A new preparation method was developed for obtaining low carbon content water from urine samples for the measurement of tritium by a liquid scintillation counter. The method uses a simple and convenient subboiling distillation bottle. Many urine samples have been purified by this method and the change of tritium level in a tritium-handling radiation-worker was observed.
