A TRITIUM COUNTER DESIGNED FOR ROUTINE LABORATORY USE

Journal Article · · Phys. in Med. Biol.
An instrument for the rapid routine counting of tritium is described. It utilizes a liquid scintillator with coincidence circuitry, and incorporates a new fixed-cell design. An introductory analysis of the geometry of the system is made. The optimum counting efficiency of the counter for tritium in 25 ml of toluene-based scintillator is 25% with a background of 180 cpm. The use of the counter with tritiated water samples and with C/sup 14/H/sup 3/ mixtures is described (auth)
