Gold Star Cocktails

Gold Star safer LS cocktail product family offers the high capacity and high efficiency LS cocktails for wide range of applications.

Gold Star Quanta

Very high Tritium efficiency (55% unquenched with conventional counters, 70% with Hidex TDCR counters) provides time saving when counting to statistical limits.

Features:

• High sample capacity at 20°C offers the possibility of assay miniaturization
• Suitable for use with alkaline solubilisers providing method flexibility
• Low background contribution ensures lower LLD’s
• No diffusion through plastic vials guarantees stable and reproducible counting
• High flash point of ~ 140°C increases safety
• Disposal by incineration only
• REACH regulations classify NPEs used in this cocktail as SVHC’s (Substances of Very High Concern) and therefore this cocktail is available for Scientific Research & Development use only

Gold Star

A multi-purpose LSC cocktail.

Capable of accepting not only up to 10 ml of dilute aqueous samples in 10 ml cocktail, but also lesser amounts of more concentrated aqueous samples.

Gold Star is highly suitable for assay miniaturisation as well as routine counting.

Extremely resistant to chemiluminescence and is therefore suitable for use with the solubilised samples resulting from the use of solubilisers such as GoldiSol, AquiGest and Hyamine hydroxide.

Much higher Tritium counting efficiency than similar high sample capacity, competitive products and therefore offers timesaving when counting to statistical limits.

REACH regulations classify NPEs used in this cocktail as SVHC’s (Substances of Very High Concern) and therefore this cocktail is available for Research & Development use only.

Gold Star LT²

Gold Star LT² is used to measure Low Tritium levels at Low Temperature.

Gold Star LT² accepts up to 12 ml water in 10ml cocktail with Tritium counting efficiencies approaching 28% with conventional counters and >30% with Hidex TDCR counters.

At 10 ml water in 10 ml cocktail, using optimised windows and low level count mode, Gold Star LT2 provides MDA’s approaching 1.4 Bq/L with conventional counters.

Gold Star LT² is used to determine low levels of Tritium in different water samples and provides a stable counting system for all loadings at temperatures down to 12°C.

Features:

• Low background contribution ensures lower LLD’s
• High capacity for water samples maximises sample capacity
• Stable at temperatures down to 12°C for sub-ambient counting
• Compatible with urine samples encountered in bioassay work
• Suitable for use with samples in mineral acids up to 4M makes it ideal for alpha / beta counting
• No diffusion through plastic vials ensures stable repeatable counting
• High flash point of ~ 140°C increases safety
• REACH regulations classify NPEs used in this cocktail as SVHC’s (Substances of Very High Concern) and therefore this cocktail is only available for Research & Development use.
• Disposal by incineration only.

Gold Flow

A high flash point safer cocktail designed for use in Flow Scintillation Analysis (FSA).

Gold Flow has low viscosity and is non-gelling.

A high sample load capacity combined with rapid mixing makes Gold Flow ideal for use in FSA.

Gold Flow resists quench, providing higher counting efficiencies and therefore more counts per peak.

REACH regulations classify NPEs used in this cocktail as SVHC’s (Substances of Very High Concern) and therefore this cocktail is available for Research & Development use only.
