PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Efficient and rapid extraction of tritium and 14C from any material

Project Details

In a Sample Oxidiser or a Pyrolyser the sample is combusted at >900°C in an oxygen-rich atmosphere. Any carbon-14 present is converted into 14CO2 and Tritium is converted into 3H2O. The 14CO2 is trapped in an amine and then a cocktail is added to make this solution suitable for LSC counting. The 3H2O is taken up in a separate specialist cocktail.
CarbonTrap
This is a high capacity carbon dioxide absorber used to trap radioactive carbon dioxide produced in sample oxidisers and pyrolysers and will accept up to a maximum of 4.8mM CO2/ml.
CarbonCount
This is the specialist cocktail for counting radioactive carbon dioxide captured in CarbonTrap.
TritiumCount+
This is the specialist cocktail for counting Tritium using a sample oxidizer  and is NPE free.
Combuster Cocktail
This is a single cocktail for trapping + counting 14C produced in some Combustion Systems. It is basically a ready-mix of CarbonCount and CarbonTrap specially formulated for high 14C trapping and counting.
