Scintillation cocktail halves costs

Lablogic Systems has helped one of its clients to halve its scintillation cocktail costs for radio-HPLC work.

The CRO has switched to Lablogic's Flowlogic 1:1, which costs 10 per cent less than the brand previously used, and is mixed with eluents at a ratio of just 1:1, cutting consumption by two thirds.

'Flowlogic 1:1 was developed specifically for a wide range of mobile-phase solvents in radio-HPLC flow counting applications,' says LabLogic's Elvir Zahirovic.

Because it is non-gelling, Flowlogic 1:1 mixes rapidly to form a clear emulsion suitable for a steady streamline flow at a wide range of HPLC gradients.

It is biodegradable and, subject to advice on dilution rates from the local water company, can sometimes be disposed of down the drain.

With low toxicity, a high flashpoint of 145C and almost no odour, it is also safe and easy to handle.
