Liquid Scintillation Counting Recent Applications and Development

This technical volume compiles specialized research on liquid scintillation counting methodologies, focusing specifically on sample preparation techniques and practical applications across scientific disciplines. The collection represents proceedings from an international conference that gathered experts from multiple countries to advance liquid scintillation science and technology. Readers will find detailed discussions of measurement protocols, detection efficiency optimization, and chemical preparation methods essential for accurate radioactive isotope quantification. The work serves as a comprehensive reference for laboratory professionals working with low-energy beta emitters and other radionuclides requiring scintillation detection.

What distinguishes this resource is its international perspective and practical orientation toward solving real-world measurement challenges in environmental monitoring, biomedical research, and nuclear applications. The contributed papers address both fundamental principles and emerging developments in cocktail formulation, quenching correction, and background reduction techniques. Researchers and technicians working with tritium, carbon-14, or other weakly penetrating radiations will find the methodological insights particularly valuable for improving their analytical precision and troubleshooting common counting problems in the laboratory setting.
