Liquid Scintillation Counting

چکیده
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 nature of the disease was recognized. The phenomenon of ectopic growth and its causes are discussed, as is surgical transplantation. The importance of elucidating the mode of action of bacteria and its clinical significance is also discussed; indeed, this remains an important field of basic medical research today. The book contains an interesting introduction on scientific methodology by Professor Rather, and Virchow's essays are certainly stimulating and thought-provoking. This is an interesting and enjoyable book which serves as a fitting tribute to one of the truly great men of medicine.

متن کاملEvaluation of alternative counting methods for radioimmunoassay of hepatitis-associated antigen (HB-Ag).
Alternative counting methods for the Abbott “AusR1A” hepatitis-associated antigen test have been devised and evaluated. These methods involve solubilization of the tube-bound radiolabeled complex with glacial acetic acid, transfer of the eluate to a counting vial of choice, and measurement by either a gamma scintillation or a liquid scintillation system. These methods, when compared to the dire...
متن کاملThe Effect of Quench on Quantitating Alpha Radionuclides by Liquid Scintillation Counting
Detecting and quantitating alpha emitting radionuclides are routine tasks in nuclear energy and environmental monitoring. For this purpose, liquid scintillation counting (LSC) is an excellent method because alphas are counted with nearly 100% counting efficiency with low backgrounds, even with severe quenching. Quenching agents such as inorganic acids, organic acids, and extractive scintillator...
