ABSTRACT:
An assembly for sealing the access passageway to a detector chamber in a scintillation counter instrument. The seal is designed to prevent the entry of any exterior light or environment that could affect the counting or scintillation process when a sample is positioned in the detector chamber. The sealing mechanism operates in conjunction with the scintillation instrument's flexible transport or elevator mechanism that moves a sample containing vial into the detector chamber. A plurality of rotating blades engage the elevator mechanism to form the tight seal. Included in the arrangement is a redundant system to provide a dual sealing capability. The sealing mechanism operates in conjunction with the flexible transport member which allows itself to be centered by the sealing mechanism to achieve the required light seal.
