Abstract

A method for performing liquid scintillation counting by the liquid scintillation counter that measures radioactive samples on a measurement support, such as a filter plate or alike, which has the sample associated therein. According to the method, the detection material, such as scintillator, is added to the measurement support before the measurement. The method according to the invention is characterized by adding detection material, such as scintillator, in melted form into the measurement support and performing the measurement after the detection material has solidified. On the filter plate is added for instance a mixture of paraffin and scintillator. One component in the detection material can be plastic scintillator.
