SCINTILLATION COUNTER FOR MEASURING RADIO-ACTIVITY OF VAPOURS

Journal Article · · Nature
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1038/182133a0· OSTI ID:4300338
An instrument is described which counts the carbon14 content of vanors emerging from a gas chromatographic apparatus paralled with the analytical chromatographlc record. The chromatographic vapors are condensed into a circulatimg liquid phosphor, a solution of diphenyl oxazole in Tylene. The scintillations excited in the phoshor by the carbon-14 are detected with a photomultiplier. A schematic sketch of the instrument is included. (C.H.)
