Band 83 -2. Suspension counting of the soil sample in a thixotropic gel system. The method was found excellent, especially with Thixcin-concentrations between 2.5-1Oo/o and sample weights not in excess of 200 mg per each 5-dram-vial.3. The highest effeciency was observed in the ,,Internal Plating Technique". Here too, a sample size of not more than 200mg per 5-drambottle appears to be most feasable for high radiation yield and counting efficiency.Suspension-and Plating-technique can serve as valuable alternative methods in direct determination of the activity of sieved soil samples by means of Liquid Scintillation Counting.S c h r i f t t u m
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
