摘要
The two kinds of liquid scintillation counters (LSCs) from PerkinElmer, Quantulus GCT 6220 and Quantulus 1220, have been compared on their basic performances, i.e., background count rate, counting efficiency, alpha/beta discrimination, and instrument stability, by determining the radioactivity of the radionuclides of H-3, C-14, Am-241, Sr-90/Y-90, Co-60, and Cs-137. Except for the highlight of Quantulus GCT 6220 in stability and that of Quantulus 1220 in background for alpha counting, the two kinds of LSCs are comparable in the basic performances to each other.
