• Description:
  As part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's post-radiological/nuclear incident response mission, we developed rapid bioassay analytical methods to assess possible human exposure to radionuclides and internal contamination. Liquid scintillation counting (LSC) is a valuable analytical tool for the rapid detection and quantification of gross alpha/beta-emitting radionuclides in urine samples. A key characteristic of this type of bioassay method is its detection sensitivity for the priority threat radionuclides. We evaluated the limit of detection of selected LSC instruments to determine which instrument can be used when low-dose measurement is important.
