To evaluate the performance of automatic counter for measuring gamma emitting samples and processing of accumulated data

The Biomedical Group of the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Bombay, India, has evaluated the performance of a radioimmunoassay counting system in the light of requirements of laboratories in developing countries. The system in question was built by Oakfield Instruments, Ltd., Eynsham, Oxford, England, to a design established in the laboratory of the International Atomic Energy Agency. The counter was found to function satisfactorily. Its low cost and sophisticated data analysis were judged major advantages which would allow good quality RIA procedures to be within reach of every laboratory
