1. Introduction
FlowStar2 LB 514
18
Further Berthold devices
may be connected depending on the measur-
ing configuration (see Figure 1):
scintillator pump LB 5037 required for the admixture method
T-mixer (also for the admixture method) and, if necessary, a mixing
chamber (static mixer)
Analytic splitter (AS).
Waste valve to separate radioactive and non radioactive waste.
The following devices may be connected to the HPLC monitor:
PC data system (
USB
)
External start control (e.g. injector valve or autosampler etc.)
Recorder (
Analog Output
)
Connection of PC
FlowStar
²
can be connected to a PC via the USB interface. In this case
the computer controls the operation of the monitor. Additional functions
such as data reduction and storage of parameter sets are now available. If
the computer is in charge, no data can be entered via the touch screen
monitor.
In the following chapters we will describe the individual system compo-
nents in detail:
Radioactivity Monitor
Measuring cells
Scintillator pump
Analytic splitter
Waste valve
The operation of
FlowStar
²
and the individual parameters will be described
in Part III:
