How Sample Preparation Affects Results
Distinguishing Sample And Instrument Variability

Procedures
First, calibrate the instrument as outlined in Section 2.7. If a note is printed out that
calibration is not successful, be sure an unquenched
14
C standard was used for the
calibration. If upon a repeat attempt the calibration is still unsuccessful call an Authorized
Beckman Service Representative. If the calibration is successful, proceed.
Set up a rack with the
3
H,
14
C, and background unquenched standards that were supplied
with the instrument. Follow these samples with three or four of your own samples that are
giving questionable results.
Set up a User Program as follows:
The count time may be increased or the precision decreased if the problem you are evaluating
takes place over a longer period of time. Count the samples and review the date as explained
in the next section.
Analysis of Data
Unquenched Standards
Look at the sample repeat values for the unquenched standards. Since the
3
H and
14
C were
counted to a 1% error, the cpm should be +/-1% of the average 95 out of 100 times. The
coefficient of variation should be less than 0.01. The Lum-Ex value should be less than 1%.
Check the counting efficiencies, H#’s and backgrounds as described in
3
H Counting
Efficiency Section 7 and
14
C Counting Efficiency Section 7.
Samples
The sample repeat cpm’s should be stable and within the counting statistics as discussed for
the standards. The Lum-Ex values should be less than 1%. The H# repeats for any one sample
should be within a fairly narrow range, depending on the value of the H#. In general, lower
H#’s have less variation. In either case they should not vary by more than +1-10 over the
entire quench range of the instrument. If you should ever encounter a real H# problem you
will find the variations are in the 100’s.
The tests could give different conclusions. These are:
Count Time: 5 minutes
Isotope 1:
3
H
Isotope 2: Wide
Data Calculation: CPM
Count Sample: 3 times
H# (if installed): ON
Lum-Ex:ON
3
H and
14
C precision: 1%
