IMPROVED TECHNIQUE FOR DETERMINATION OF C$sup 14$ AND H$sup 3$ BY FLASK COMBUSTION

Description is given of a new inexpensive combustion and collection system that simplifies the counting of evolved /sup 14/CO/sub 2/ and /sup 3/H/sub 2/O. With this system 95 to 97% of the C/su p 14/ may be recovered as CO/sub 2/ with a 40% counting efficiency. The results with tritium are equally as good with the exception that the counting efficiency is only 10%. The essential feature of the apparatus is the combustion head. The procedure is suited to routine use, and by employing three or four heads a continuous operation may be set up. (P.C.H.)
