Abstract
The present invention provides a method for determining a background count rate in liquid scintillation counting. The method comprises measuring external standard spectra of a sample, determining, from the external standard spectra, a triple to double coincidence ratio and a quench parameter, determining, based on the triple to double coincidence ratio and the quench parameter, a background reference parameter, and determining, based on the background reference parameter, the background count rate from a background reference curve.
