Liquid Scintillation Counters for Sensitive and Accurate Radiation Analysis
Radiation Detection Measure delivers high-performance liquid scintillation counters, engineered for precision, compliance, and seamless B2B integration
Liquid Scintillation Counter Overview
Liquid scintillation counters are essential for detecting and quantifying low-energy beta-emitting radionuclides in environmental, biological, and industrial samples. These systems work by mixing a radioactive sample with a scintillation cocktail, which emits light pulses when interacting with radiation. The emitted light is then detected and measured, providing highly sensitive and accurate results even at very low activity levels. Liquid scintillation counting is widely used in laboratories for environmental monitoring, radiopharmaceutical research, and nuclear safety.
Radiation Detection Measure supports B2B clients across North America with innovative liquid scintillation counter solutions. Our systems are designed for reliability, user-friendly operation, and compliance with industry standards. With a focus on technology innovation, product reliability, and customer-focused support, we help organizations streamline their workflows and achieve precise, reproducible results.
