Carol,

I think the only useful way to measure tritium in urine is by liquid
scintillation spectrometry. We have a lot of experience since we have done
much work on transfer of tritium from watches with luminous dials containing
tritium to the body. But of course you should state, what levels you want to
measure - thousands of Bq/l or environmental levels of about 2 Bq/l. Please
contact me at my personal e-mail addres
