Product Overview
COCKTAIL ‘O’ Scintillation Grade is a premium liquid scintillator designed for high-performance radioluminescence applications. Formulated with ultra-pure solvents and fluorophores, it ensures minimal quenching and maximum light output for accurate detection of beta and gamma radiation. The optimized composition provides exceptional energy transfer efficiency, making it ideal for demanding scintillation counting tasks. Its low background noise and high photon yield enhance sensitivity, while the stable formulation prevents degradation over time. The scintillation-grade purity guarantees consistent results across repeated experiments. This liquid scintillator is compatible with most photomultiplier tubes and counting systems, offering versatility for various laboratory setups. The carefully balanced solvent system ensures compatibility with a wide range of sample types while maintaining optimal optical properties. COCKTAIL ‘O’ delivers reliable performance in both research and routine applications where precision and reproducibility are critical.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of COCKTAIL ‘O’ Scintillation Grade when stored properly?
When stored in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and moisture, COCKTAIL ‘O’ maintains its performance characteristics for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Is this scintillation cocktail compatible with aqueous samples?
COCKTAIL ‘O’ is primarily designed for organic-soluble samples, though it can accommodate limited water content (typically up to 10-15%) without significant phase separation or performance loss.
3. What type of vials work best with this scintillation cocktail?
Low-potassium borosilicate glass or polyethylene vials are recommended for optimal performance, as they minimize background interference and maintain chemical stability of the cocktail.
4. How does the temperature affect the performance of COCKTAIL ‘O’?
Optimal performance is achieved at room temperature (20-25°C). Temperature fluctuations below 15°C may increase viscosity, while temperatures above 30°C can accelerate solvent evaporation.
5. Can this scintillation cocktail be used for alpha particle detection?
While primarily optimized for beta and gamma detection, COCKTAIL ‘O’ can detect alpha particles with reduced efficiency due to the shorter range of alpha radiation in liquid media.
