Low Level Liquid Scintillation

Reach the high level of performance you require for your low-level applications

PerkinElmer is the only source for the world's top low-level liquid scintillation analyzers, the Tri-Carb® and the 1220 QUANTULUS™. These analyzers offer the stability over long counting times and the background reduction capabilities needed in critical low-level applications including:

  • drinking water analyses of radon
  • food control for 90Sr
  • radioactive effluent measurements at nuclear power plants
  • emergency preparedness for nuclear power and homeland security
  • radiocarbon dating
  • biofuel and other biobased material analyses


We also offer high quality, optimized liquid scintillation cocktails and counting supplies to complement your LSA and ensure optimum counting results. Plus, PerkinElmer's 50 years of experience and innovation in liquid scintillation analysis result in unmatched service and applications expertise.
