Revvity MicroBeta2 Microplate Counters

This system includes the following standard features and benefits:

• Single “push button” operation initiates automatic cycle, positioning of vials and ignition basket, non-catalytic combustion, dispensing of scintillation cocktails and carbon dioxide trapping agent, and system cleaning.
• Physical separation of 3H and 14C radionuclides from dual labeled sample material for ease of sample analysis.
• Minimizes optical and chemical quenching. Reduces chemiluminescence in most sample preparations, increases statistical accuracy of liquid scintillation counting results. Eliminates self-absorption.
• Observation of combustion allows for visual inspection during sample burn.
• Complete combustion of liquid, wet or dry sample eliminates the need for chemical solubilization.
• Ensures maximum radionuclide recovery for 14C with sample size equivalent up to 40 millimoles of carbon dioxide and up to 85 millimoles of water for samples containing 3H (up to 1.5 grams).
• Radionuclide recovery for both 3H and 14C of >97% maximizes radionuclide separation for single label analysis using liquid scintillation counting techniques and an efficiency quench correlation curve for each radionuclide.
• Radionuclide memory of less than 0.08% for most 3H and 14C labeled sample materials.
• Non-catalytic combustion eliminates catalyst usage, cost and replacement.
• Accommodates 20 mL glass or low-cost polyethylene vials.
• Capacity to process up to 60 samples per hour for each radionuclide.
• Unique design bellows-type reagent metering pumps. Pumps adjustable from 0 to 18 milliliters, automatically dispense accurate volumes of both 3H and 14C scintillation cocktails and carbon dioxide trapping agent.
• Long life, removable platinum ignition basket.
• Non-pressurized reagent storage tank capacity of five liters for each reagent allows up to 500 sample combustions between refills.
• Ambient temperature trapping of water and carbon dioxide provides safe and clean operation.
• Accessory kit with spare parts; included are additional O-rings, glass combustion flask, wrench, seals, and assorted small parts.
