Liquid Scintillation Counting Cocktails and Solvents
Liquid scintillation counting is a technique for measuring the radioactive activity (alpha and beta particle detection) of a sample by mixing the active material with a liquid scintillator. Products include cocktails, solvents, etc.
Safety-Solve is a ready-to-use high flash point, cocktail for liquid scintillation counting. This low-odor, high flash point, low viscosity formula does not require dilution prior to use. Contains a blend of high quantum efficiency quench resistant fluors in a non-ionic emulsifier system which will accommodate a wide range of samples.

TS-2 is a strong organic base formulated to solubilize biological materials. Its high water holding capacity will incorporate up to 450 mg of aqueous volume using just 1 ml of TS-2. This factor alone makes TS-2 an economical product to use. TS-2 is compatible with all aromatic hydrocarbon based scintillation cocktails and eliminates problems related to chemiluminescence. This provides accurate sample reproducibility.
The ratio of sample weight or volume to the TS-2 volume will vary. Some typical examples are listed below: Sample Volume TS-2 Volume Plasma - 0.4ml to 1.0ml Dilute Nucleic Acids - 0.5ml to 1.0ml Dilute Amino Acids - 0.5ml to 1.0ml Protein Homogenates - 0.4ml to 1.0 ml
Most sample digestion can be performed at room temperature, which also reduces the effects of color quenching.
