Re: Field Instrument for Measuring Tritium in Water



Hi Leon, I know that a single well liquid scintillation counter was tested by the DOE as part of their "innovative technologies programme".  The report for this trial and further information can be found at : http://apps.em.doe.gov/ost/itsrddfa.html

My undertsanding is that this is a simple, rugged liquid scintillation counter desgined for field use. Unfortunately I don't know what the lower limits of detection are for this instrument, and whether they would meet your needs.  Another similar instrument is the Triathler, another single well liquid scintillation counter.  I belive that this instrument is manufactured by Perkin Elmer (or whover they have demerged/merged/re-badged themselves as now), but is sold in the US by Bioscan.  Further information can be found at:

I hope the above is useful.  Warmest regards, Julian
