Scintillation Counter (Packard 1600TR)

The Packard 1600TR Liquid Scintillation Counter is a triple region, computer based, multiuser unit that provides quantitative detection of beta radiation, other types of radiation, and various types of luminescence. The instrument is capable of handling up to 720 sample vials, using pre-defined protocols for detecting ³H, ¹⁴C, ³²P, and ¹²⁵I in single label counting.
