Product news
Based on experience of close to 1500 scintillation counting systems installed Hidex is proud to present the 300SL automatic TDCR liquid scintillation counter.
The new reader has automatic sample loading of various vial sizes. It includes a revolutionary Triple to Double Coincidence Ratio measurement feature that enables easy and straightforward determination of sample efficiency with out any external or internal source of radioactivity.
Alpha/Beta separation, Temperature control, external standard and low level counting mode are all optionally available.

Microplate Readers / DetectorsMicroplate readers are used to automate the detection and analysis of labeled or label-free components in microplates during assays or live-cell monitoring. Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput.

At the core of a scintillation counter is a sensor and detector, where the sensor is typically a scintillator crystal. Scintillation also includes liquid scintillation, radiometers and particle counters. Key features of scintillator counters include high resolution, automated multi-detection and high counting efficiency.
