Scintillation Proximity Assay on the TopCount Microplate Scintillation Counter
ثبت نشده
چکیده
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 sample liquid scintillation counters. Effects of sample quench can be corrected with quench indicating parameters based on the sample spectrum (tSIS) or, when using the 4 X 6 format, external standard spectrum (tSIE). With multiple detectors and the microplate format, TopCount offers greater throughput, decreased cocktail consumption, more efficient sample handling, and more secure sample identification. Samples from a cytotoxicity assay and an enzyme inhibition assay were counted on TopCount, and the results were compared to those obtained with conventional liquid scintillation and gamma counting.

متن کاملQuench and Quench Correction
The TopCount Microplate Scintillation and Luminescence Counter is capable of analyzing radiolabeled microplate samples in a wide variety of formats using liquid and solid scintillation counting techniques. Quench is a common interference in scintillation counting which reduces the sample’s apparent activity. In most applications, the level of quench is constant; hence, it need not be considered...
