Instrument: Riso Laboratory Anti-coincidence Beta Counters
Low-level beta detectors manufactured by Riso (now Nutech) in Denmark. These instruments accept samples that can be mounted on a 25mm filter holder. These detectors have very low backgrounds, 0.17 counts per minute, and can have counting efficiencies as high as 55%.
Samples were beta counted at the University of South Carolina on a RISO low-level beta multi-counter within two months of the collection date.
