Abstract

Results of intercomparison tests are presented on samples analyzed using gas and liquid scintillation techniques to study the capability of the LKB Quantulus to count an organic solution used for direct absorption of CO2 and samples with low carbon content. Good agreement was obtained for small samples compared to standard sample size and for the direct absorption compared with the traditional techniques.
