Abstract
This paper describes a novel technique for the detection of 32P using a liquid scintillation counter. In this technique 32P is detected in plastic vials which have been given scintillation properties through impregnation with a scintillating liquid. Beta particles emitted by the 32P are detected when they interact with the scintillating walls of the vials. Measurements show much better repeatability than those using the Cerenkov effect in the walls of glass or plastic vials; counting efficiency is very close to that obtained with the liquid scintillation method.
