Abstract
The present invention provides a flow cell that can be used to improve the linear detection range of a radio-detector. The flow cell of the present invention is simple and cost-effective to set up and provides technical advantages over methods known in the prior art, as set out in more detail hereunder. The present invention also provides a method to determine the RCP of a radioactive composition making use of said flow cell, and a HPLC system comprising said flow cell.
Claims17
A radio-detector system comprising:
- a radio-detector;
- a flow cell comprising a plurality of discreetly-selectable fluid conduits each defining an elongate fluid passageway, wherein each said fluid conduit extends through said flow cell and is positioned in radio communication with said radio-detector;
- and, a valve located upstream of said flow cell which includes an input port and a plurality of output ports, each said output port placed in sealed fluid communication with one end of said fluid conduits, said valve allowing said input port to be placed in fluid communication with a passageway of one or more of said fluid conduits.
