Radiation Counters as Detectors. Radioactivity measurements of gas chromatographic column effluents have been performed by various modified sensing devices. However, all of these are based on two primary methods: (1) condensation of the radioactive components out of the gas stream for subsequent radioassay, and (2) direct measurement of radioactivity in the gas phase. 3, record 1, English, - radiation%20counter
