ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a liquid scintillation spectrometry process and apparatus permitting the analysis of samples having a fluorescence efficiency quenching comprising chromatic quenching and chemical quenching. According to the invention, an external standard ionizing radiation source is used which is associated with a collimating means permitting the irradiation of the sample to be restricted to a small area. According to a first variant, two separate measurements are carried out on fluorescence radiations having different optical paths. These two measurements make it possible to determine a coefficient which represents the ratio between the chromatic quenching and the chemical quenching. In a second variant, the irradiation area is selected in such a way that the overall quenching is no longer dependent on this ratio.
