Counting Aqueous Samples with 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.

Counting Non-Aqueous Samples in the TopCount® Microplate Scintillation and Luminescence

The microplate format has become a standard for many biological assays such as high throughput screening for drug discovery and radioimmunoassays. Productivity with these high volume procedures has been limited by the amount of sample handling required and low sample counting throughput. Now, however, microplate assays can be efficiently counted in microplates with the Packard TopCount Micropla...

Quench 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...
