CountonPPO
(the fluor —
hathas. —
everything)
And here's proof... At its optimal concentration (4g /liter toluene),
PPO costs just 1.6 cents per 15 m! sample. The new PBD derivatives
are used at concentrations of 7-8q/ liter of toluene, resulting tn nearly twice
the cost for little or no increase in performance!
And, even when your samples are highly quenched and contain only minimal
activity, PPO plus a little of our new spectrum shifter, bis-MSB, is still
the logical primary scintillator to use. PPO is extremely soluble in most common solvents,
even at low temperatures. In fact, it is the most readily soluble of all common
primary scintillators. A product of our Pilot Chemicals Division, it is available from
NEN along with virtually any other scintillator you require.
