ABSTRACT

A new two-compartment liquid scintillation vial system for radiometric measurement has been evolved, such that the light attenuation by the inner vial is minimized. The increase in relative efficiency is over 70 % better than in an earlier design. The system is compact and versatile, and is suitable for automated, cumulative, or continuous radiometric measurements.
