Performing an FS DPM Assay
The following tasks are required when performing an FS DPM Assay.
Calibrate the instrument, if necessary.
Define and run a Quench Standards Assay so that counting efficiency and
DPM can be determined for the samples.
Create a new assay choosing FS DPM as the assay type and define the new
assay parameters.
Associate (link) the assay parameters with a protocol and attach the
corresponding protocol flag to the first cassette to be counted.
Load the cassette(s) with vials and load the instrument with cassettes.
Start the instrument.
Save the assay.
Or
Open an existing FS DPM assay and edit or review if necessary.
Select a quench standards set for use with the sample nuclide(s).
Save the assay in the Assays folder of the Packard\TriCarb directory.
Associate (link) the assay parameters with a protocol and attach the
corresponding protocol flag to the first cassette to be counted.
Load the cassette(s) with vials and load the instrument with cassettes.
Start the instrument.
