The radiation counting core is equipped with instruments used for the detection and analysis of alpha (>4MeV), beta, and gamma radioactive materials. The equipment can quantify the amount and type of radioactive materials in samples over a wide range of activity levels for various research and regulatory applications.
Facilities:
Gamma Counter: Wizard 2 Gamma Counter is an automatic gamma counter designed for detecting and measuring gamma radiation. Up to 500 samples can be measures automatically with sample volumes up to 20ml. A 2000 channel high resolution multichannel analyzer (up to 1000 keV) is sufficient for multi-label, RIA, IEMA, chromium release, and PET applications.
Liquid Scintillation Counter: PerkinElmer Tri-carb 2910 TR Liquid Scintillation Counter is a computer controlled benchtop liquid scintillation analyzer for detecting small amounts of alpha, beta and gamma radioactivity. The system can automatically detect up to 400 20ml or 700 4 to 7 ml sample vials
