Description

General description

Ultima Gold^™ LSC Cocktail is a safer line of liquid scintillation cocktails (LSC) designed for a wide range of aqueous solutions. Liquid scintillation counting in radionuclide metrology involves preparing samples which are emulsions of aqueous radioactive solutions in liquid scintillation cocktails. Ultima Gold^™ LSC Cocktail technology is an alternative screening tool to alpha spectrometry and gas flow proportional counting.

Application

Ultima Gold^™ LSC Cocktail is widely used to measure low-energy radionuclides. Metrology laboratories also use it for the standardization of radioactive solutions.

Features and Benefits

Ultima Gold^™ LSC Cocktail has the following benefits:

• A high flash point (150 °C) offers greater safety.

• High sample load capacity and high counting efficiency − up to 50% for 3H. 
• Compatible with alkaline samples.
• It will not diffuse through polyethylene vials. 
• Biodegradable. 
• Compatible with polar organic solvents.
