Liquid Chromatography-Accurate Radioisotope Counting and Microplate Scintillation Counter Technologies in Drug Metabolism Studies

Liquid chromatography-accurate radioisotope counting and microplate scintillation counter technologies in drug metabolism studies.

The present study involves an analysis of the performance of liquid chromatography (LC)-accurate radioisotope counting (ARC) and microplate scintillation counter (TopCount) technologies in drug metabolism studies. For the purpose of evaluating these systems, biological samples resulting from the metabolism of a radiolabeled [14C] compound, known as compound B, are analyzed using LC-ARC and TopC...

Counting Aqueous Samples with the TopCount Microplate Scintillation Counter

The TopCountTM Microplate Scintillation Counter quantitates radioisotopes by liquid scintillation counting in standard microplate formats. Assays that previously had to be transferred from microplates to vials or to non-standard formats for counting can now be quantitated directly in microplates. TopCount can count up to 12 samples simultaneously with performance comparable to that of discrete ...

Measurement of Strontium-90 in the Persian Gulf Fish by Extraction Chromatography with Sr-resin and Liquid Scintillation Counter

Background: Despite its beneficial effects on human life, the nuclear industry has its own risks. Strontium 90 (90Sr) is one of the most dangerous radionuclides produced by the uranium 235 fission, and replaces the bone calcium in the human body, which causes cancer. Ensuring the safety of nuclear facilities to protect employees, people and the environment is among the main goals of nuclear saf...
