Liquid scintillation research in the area of characterizing the pulse-height energy distribution spectra of different beta particle and gamma-ray emitting radionuclides has resulted in a new technique developed to compute dual-label radionuclide activity (dpm). Improved statistical precision and enhanced radionuclide separations for dual-labeled measurements are significant attributes of this technique. A liquid scintillation counting technique to computer radionuclide activity using full energy spectrum analysis has been developed using a Packard Tri-Carb Spectralyzer series 2000CA Liquid Scintillation Analyzer. The development of advanced application techniques in liquid scintillation measurements is just beginning as the authors learn to interpret energy spectrum information to its fullest capacity.
