Introduction
1.1 Intended Use
The Beckman LS 6720/6730/6750 Scintillation System is designed to provide highly accurate,
automated counting of the level of radioactivity in radioactively-tagged samples. The
instrument can perform several types of calculations on the data obtained from counting, as
selected by the user.
1.2 General Description
Description of the Instrument
The Beckman LS 6720/6730/6750 Scintillatin System is a state-of-the-art bench top liquid
scintillatin counter, featuring a Motorola 68000 Series microprocessor, a Digital Signal
Processor and a 32,768 channel Multichannel Analyzer.
The instrument is available with either a monochrome or a color monitor; Hot Graph is
included with the color monitor system. The monitor displays an extensive user-interface
system that includes Help screens and instructions. The robust rack sample changer will
accommodate either 336 standard vials or 648 miniature vials (depending upon the version.)
Basic System
The system calculates counts per minute (cpm). The standard quench monitor is the IC#.
Data can be normalized and blanks and/or backgrounds can be subtracted. Percent of
reference can be calculated. Other standard features include a high count rate terminator that
automatically rejects samples with too much activity, an electrostatic controller to reduce the
interference of static electricity, and an 80-column printer for output of data. Twenty
different User Programs, which are the instructions for processing either a single sample or a
batch of samples, can be stored. Different racks of samples can be counted under different
User Programs without user intervention. An Isotope Library stores the window settings for
access by any User Program. Automatic operation can be interrupted to allow processing of
priority samples or to edit a User Program.
Value System
The Value System includes all the features of the Basic System, plus Versa-Rack™ and H#.
Versa-Rack allows you to count standard vials, miniature vials or Bio-Vials™ on the same
system. H# uses an external quench monitor (
137
Cs) for Automatic Quench Compensation
(AQC).
Enhancement Packs
Productivity Pack
This is an option for the Value System and includes Xtalscint
®
CPM/DPM, single- and
dual-label DPM and an RS-232 interface.
