Some laboratory procedures still require the use of radioactive species. The Beckman LS 6500 Liquid Scintillation Counter offers support for this research. This scintillator has a 32,768 multichannel analyzer and an effective resolution of 0.5 keV per channel. This provides the basis for optimal analyses: disintegrations per minute (DPM) results without quench curves, superior results for multi-label studies, and automatic color detection and correction. The counter is managed by proprietary software and the use of programs and counting racks with command cards for single photon counting and dual label studies.
For safe work and monitoring, Geiger-Müller monitors are available in the facility.
