Liquid scintillation counter can handle up to eight sample trays

Nov. 22, 2011 - PRLog -- LabLogic’s 300SL liquid scintillation counter is now available with a high throughput sample stacker capable of loading and unloading up to 8 sample trays automatically, giving the counter a capacity of up to 768 vials.

Supplied with a very user friendly software interface, the stacker can be purchased with the instrument, or in retrospect if capacity needs increase.  It can also be removed easily and stored elsewhere if the lab down-sizes, or when a large project come to an end.

Together, the 300SL and the sample stacker provide an extremely compact basic platform along with the flexibility to upgrade for higher throughput at a later date – perfect for the uncertainty associated with research projects and the size limitations of modern radiation labs.

The 300SL also does away with the need to have a standard source of radioactivity to compensate for the quench phenomenon for pure beta emitters.

It is the first commercially available instrument of its kind to use the absolute activity measurement method known as Triple to Double Coincidence Ratio (TDCR) technology, which eliminates the labour associated with setting up a standard source and the safety issues and expense of disposing of it at the end of the counter's useful life.
