Description

One of the vital features of HIDEX 300 SL Liquid Scintillation Counter (LSC) is α/β discrimination. For efficient α/β separation, various counting parameters such as Pulse length Index (PLI), Alpha Delay Time (ADT) and Alpha Tail Offset (ATO), need to be optimized HIDEX LSC analyzes the pulse after 'alpha delay time' (ADT) so that it collects mainly the delayed component (Application note: HIDEX, 2012). The purpose of this study was to standardize the calibration procedure for simultaneous determination of α/β activities in a sample using HIDEX LSC. % deviation in activities was studied as a function of PLI, ADT and ATO. Effect of sample quenching on PLI settings was also investigated
