Oxygen Quenching Errors in Liquid Scintillation Counting of C14O2 Following Schoniger Flask Combustion
Description:
Kalberer and Rutschmann (Helv, Chim, Act, 44 : 1956, 1961) described a method of estimating quantitatively C-14 compounds on a paper carrier, for example chromatograms. The sample is combusted in oxygen, the C14O2 produced being absorbed in ethanolamine solution and counted by liquid scintillation techniques. However, errors occur where there are deviations from their experimental conditions, such as in counting equipment or weight combusted, owing to differing concentrations of dissolved oxyge…
