Lablogic Systems has released the Triathler single-vial scintillation counter / luminometer, which provides instant LSC and luminescence measurements.
It accepts vials of any size, from Eppendorf tubes right up to 20ml capacity, and is pre-programmed for most isotopes and luminescence.
In LSC mode it has preset modes for 3H, 14C, 32P, 33P, 35S and reliable detection for most other radio-nuclides.
The alpha-beta separation electronics are especially suitable for detecting alpha-isotopes such as radon (222Rn) in water.
As a luminometer, Triathler is sensitive to glow and flash reagents and allows techniques common in microbiology, immunology and genetic research.
With a sodium iodide (NaI) well - which is available as an optional extra - it can also be used for gamma counting.
The modes for 57Co, 51Cr, 131I and 99mTc are programmable.
