the isolated internal standard technique can be used to correct any observed counting rate. However, a more important application is the study of complex counting systems to separate the effects of color and chemical quenching. In this respect, the technique offers two important advantages over the spectrophotometric method. The isolated internal standard is faster requiring only one additional measurement. Also, expensive accessory equipment is unnecessary; an easily prepared standard assembly that is stable indefinitely is all that is required.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
