Radiochemical techniques are essential for the analysis and manipulation of radioactive substances. Common methods include liquid scintillation counting, gamma spectroscopy, and alpha spectrometry. Each technique has its unique advantages and is chosen based on the specific requirements of the analysis.
This technique is widely used for measuring beta-emitting radionuclides. It involves mixing a sample with a scintillation cocktail, which emits light when radioactive decay occurs. The emitted light is then detected and quantified, providing valuable information about the sample's radioactivity.
