Abstract
Counting radioactive samples with Beckman Instrument's Ready Caps, using a restricted energy window, LL-UL = 400-1000, resulted in machine backgrounds of under 2 cpm and efficiencies of counting relative to liquid scintillation cocktails (LSC) of 51%, 65%, 57%, 62%, and 1% for 32P, 125I, 14C, 35S and 3H, respectively. Signal-to-noise ratios from a quantitative molecular hybridization technique were increased 8-10 fold. There may be a general application for this product in experiments yielding low amounts of radioactivity in liquid samples.
