Popis: Cerenkov counting efficiency varies with colour quenching and sample turbidity. The activity in a plastic vial can be determined accurately with a colour quenching correction technique, regardless of the presence or absence of turbidity in a sample. On the other hand, the error of the measured activity in a glass vial becomes large with increasing sample turbidity due to the dissimilarity of the quench correction curves for non-turbid and turbid samples.
