Preparation of whole blood for liquid scintillation counting.
Liquid scintillation counting of 3H-labeled whole-blood samples is severely impaired owing to quenching by blood pigments. In this study, dry oxidation and chemical solubilization followed by decolorization were the two general methods used to eliminate color quenching. Three blood volumes were examined: 0.25, 0.50, and 1.0 mL. Dry oxidation yielded complete recoveries of 3H label with counting...
متن کاملLow Background Liquid Scintillation in Borexino
After a short introduction to solar neutrino physics, this paper describes the design concept and expected performance of the Borexino underground detector at Gran Sasso. Low background results from the Counting Test Facility, the rst phase of the Borexino project, are summarized.
متن کاملCocktails for Liquid Scintillation Counting
It is most important to assure 4 π−geometry in liquid scintillation counting for accurate results1. Usually this can be assured by dissolution of the sample in an appropriate cocktail. The cocktail does not only contain a solvent but also at least one scintillator and surfactants for aqueous samples because aqueous samples are completely insoluble in the pure organic solvents and scintillators....

discussed, and he points out that merely because a disease is found to be familial in incidence does not mean it is hereditarily transmitted; leprosy, for instance, was long held to be a hereditary disease, and a law was actually proposed in the Norwegian Parliament forbidding the marriage of lepers for that reason. It was only with the discovery of the leprosy bacillus by Hansen that the true ...
متن کاملA large-scale low-background liquid scintillation detector: the counting test facility at Gran Sasso
A 4.8 m3 unsegmented liquid scintillation detector at the underground Laboratori Nazionali de1 Gran Sasso has shown the feasibility of multi-ton low-background detectors operating to energies as low as 250 keV. Detector construction and the handling of large volumes of liquid scintillator to minimize the background are described. The scintillator, 1.5 g PPO/L-pseudocumene. is held in a flexible...
