Figure Bl.10.9. Plot of the reduced relative uncertainty of a double coincidence experiment as a fimction of the signal-to-background ratio. Note that the relative uncertainty decreases as the signal-to-background rate decreases. Figure Bl.10.9.

The concentration of is determined by measurement of the specific P-activity. Usually, the carbon from the sample is converted into a gas, eg, carbon dioxide, methane, or acetylene, and introduced into a gas-proportional counter. Alternatively, Hquid-scintiHation counting is used after a benzene synthesis. The limit of the technique, ca 50,000 yr, is determined largely by the signal to background ratio and counting statistics. [Pg.418]

Shipping analysis is an extremely sensitive electrochemical technique for measuring trace metals (19,20). Its remarkable sensitivity is attributed to the combination of an effective preconcentration step with advanced measurement procedures that generate an extremely favorable signal-to-background ratio. Since the metals are preconcentrated into the electrode by factors of 100 to 1000, detection limits are lowered by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude compared to solution-phase voltammetric measurements. Hence, four to six metals can be measured simultaneously in various matrices at concentration levels down to 10 10 i. utilizing relatively inexpensive... [Pg.75]

However, a nonzero background in the experiment always produces a small contribution from the detection events that fall in the central Nq peak. For example, a signal-to-background ratio of 7 leads to an Nc/Nl ratio of about 0.2. In the present case, an Nc/Nl ratio of 0.06 was determined. Hence, the Nc/Nl value also indicates that the present nanocrystal behaves as a single-photon source. [Pg.220]

An interesting variant of a CEMS counter is the parallel-plate avalanche counter (PPAC) [18, 19], which carries the sample between parallel electrodes made of Perspex coated with graphite (Fig. 3.8, left). A counter gas is used to amplify the low conversion-electron current emitted by the sample, with an avalanche effect taking place between the plates. Compared with the CEMS proportional counters, PPAC gives a larger signal-to-background ratio, faster time response, simpler construction, and better performance at low temperatures. [Pg.40]

Assay conditions as determined by ASSAY VALIDATION are performed in the chosen PLATE FORMAT with an acceptable signal to background ratio as described by the Z factor. [Pg.80]

The low y-ray intensity relative to the K x-ray background therefore presents a problem of obtaining a reasonably good signal-to-background ratio. [Pg.148]

PET offers the possibility to quantitatively measure the myocardial blood flow (MBF). MBF tracers can be divided into two groups. The first group is freely diffusible and represented by [ 0]H20. These tracers do not show any specific absorption and their distribution is completely determined by diffusion. Consequently, the measurement of the MBF is based on the first-pass extraction and clearance data. Because of the low heart-to-blood radioactivity ratio, the freely diffusible tracers provide myocardial images with low signal-to-background ratios. The second class is composed of highly extractable heart tracers. The tracer p NjNHs belongs to this family. These radiolabeled compounds are characterized by a selective extraction and retention in the myocardium. The... [Pg.96]

Fig. 29 Lifetime measurements with the Zeiss Plate Vision of DBO (= 2,3-diazabicyclo [2.2.2]oct-2-ene) for three different oligopeptide protease substrate. For the uncleaved substrates the signal decays fast (r = 59 ns, 95 ns and 35 ns) due to the collisional, dynamic quenching of the DBO by tryptophan or trypsin. Upon cleavage the quencher and DBO are separated, which results in a lifetime increase (r = 234 ns, 287 ns and 315 ns). This lifetime change allows a time-gated FTRF detection (delay = 100 ns and gate = 700 ns) of the enzymatic reaction with a high signal-to-background ratio. Data by courtesy of T. Enderle, Hoffmann-La Roche, Pharmaceuticals Division, Assay Development and HTS, Basel/Switzerland [192]...
