Liquid Scintillation (LS) is a radiochemistry technique mainly used to quantify beta emitters. It is time consuming when low activity samples are determined. Using 14C as an example, classical procedures of counting efficiency and activity determination are compared with Multivariate Calibration (MV

✦ Synopsis
In this study a new method is presented for the simultaneous determination of plutonium alpha emitters by liquid scintillation counting using multivariate calibration. The prediction errors obtained for 239+240Pu and '""Pu activities are around 8%. With the procedure proposed, the measurement of the blank spectrum is no longer required.

A liquid scintillation counting method for simultaneous determination of three radioactive nuclides (3H, 14C, and 22Na) of biological interest was studied. By comparing the beta spectra of the three nuclides, their counting energy ranges, A, B, and C, were determined. 22NA was set high enough to avo
The organic samples triply labeled with 3H, 14C, and 35S were combusted in a flow-type combustion flask under a continuous oxygen flow. The oxygen gas containing the combustion products, which were mainly 3H2O, 14CO2, and 35SO2, was introduced into successive 0.5 M H2O2 and Oxisorb (2-methoxyethylam
