Abstract
A carrier for at least on beta-particle-emitting sample to be measured in a scintillation counter comprises a sorption sheet on which the sample is to be deposited, a transparent bag within which the sorption sheet with the sample is to be contained, and a scintillant to be contacted with the sample within said bag. According to the invention the scintillant is a meltable solid scintillant which is coated onto at least part of the sorption sheet and/or the inside of the transparent bag, and which is to be melted to envelop and permeate the sample before measurement thereof.
