Liquid Scintillation Cocktail Solution
20 liter unit
Ecoscint™ H is a very high efficiency, non-toxic biodegradable scintillation solution…
Ecoscint™ H is specifically designed to provide the maximum counting efficiency for aqueous sample volumes under 10% of the total liquid scintillation volume. Ecoscint™ H has exceptional resistance to photo- and chemiluminescence, which is especially important when counting biological samples or acrylamide gel slices. Ecoscint™ H will yield counting efficiencies with tritum as high as 62.4% at moderate sample volumes <10%. Additional applications include protein precipitates and sodium citrate buffer solutions.

Biodegradable Liquid Scintillation Cocktail Solutions
All Ecoscint™ liquid scintillation cocktails solutions are non-toxic, ecologically responsible, biodegradable (means DOC elimination of >70% at 10 days), complete and ready-to-use scintillation solutions. These solutions do not contain any harsh, toxic or hazardous compounds found in conventional scintillators (substances listed under Title 40, Sub-chapter R of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations). All Ecoscint™ scintillators have very high flash points of over 150°C. This makes Ecoscint™ the perfect bench-top scintillator. These scintillators are bacteriologically converted to harmless water and CO2 upon disposal. This makes Ecoscint™ safe enough to dispose down the drain. Polyethylene counting vials are not permeated by these solutions. This permits subsequent counting and completely eliminates the build-up of hazardous vapors in the laboratory. Therefore, Ecoscint™ does not need to be stored under a fume hood, freeing up space for the handling of more hazardous chemicals. All National Diagnostic scintillation products are guaranteed to be of the finest quality at the time of shipment. All materials shipped are guaranteed to meet the specifications indicated.
All 'nonflammable" scintillation solutions are manufactured from either ND-103 or ND-105. These solvents are high in flash point, low in evaporation rate and high in counting efficiencies. Note that "nonflamable" designation means that this material will not ignite as readily, or burn with the intensity or violence as those classified as "flammable" (ex. toluene or xylene). It is also important to note that every precaution must be taken in the use, storage and handling of these scintillators to avoid the possibility of ignition.
