Development of a miniature giga-Becqerel gamma detector for liquid chromatography

Project Overview

Prof. Nickle’s lab routinely performs liquid chromatography on cyclotron-irradiated materials in order to separate the radioactive product from the target stock. During this process, it is important to know when the radioactive band is passing from the column. Various systems are in place to do this, but the client would like a gamma detector attached to the column that utilizes a scintillator-S9705-buzzer to emit sound when the radioactive band passes, alerting the researcher to the event.
