Abstract

The construction of a flow cell suitable for the measurement of weak β-radioactivity is described. The relative efficiencies of several commercially available scintillators for14C and tritium have been determined. POPOP appears to possess the best properties and is used for the detector tests, viz. the determination of the absolute efficiency, the peak broadening, and the calibration curves. The separation of a mixture of14C-labelled amino acids shows the performance in high-speed chromatography.
