Liquid scintillator

Liquid scintillator is an aromatic solvent with delocalized electrons that generates fluorescence light in uses for radiation measurement or particle detection. When a particle (α, β, γ or neutron) strikes the scintillator solvent, the delocalized electrons are excited to unstable excited state and then decay to first excited state, followed by ground-state-transition via fluorescence emission at 260~300nm. The scintillation light is then energy-shifted to the UV sensitive region (380~450nm) of photosensor by fluor and wavelength shifter.

The Liquid Scintillator Scientific is a research-based corporation focusing on liquid scintillator developments and applications in academic and industrial fields. The company owns a state-of-art research facility in developing chemical recipes for different scientific practices and provides a variety of scintillation cocktails specifying in loading of different metallic ions for scintillation counting, medical application, and research projects. Several of our scintillator cocktails are prepared from high flash point and low toxicity organic solvents that could satisfy the modern environmental regulations.

Our development department has many years of research and operation experience in scintillator production and can also work with customers to develop different types of scintillation cocktails loading with a variety of metal ions (non-catalog items) and/or apply various purification methods to improve optical transmission and/or remove naturally-occurring isotopes, upon applicant’s requests. Our production factory is equipped with large process equipment that is capable of large scintillator manufacture. Request of large-scale (100~1000 liters or more) scintillation cocktail in any types is available.
