BetaMax™ ES, as its name implies, is a very efficient, environmentally safe LSC cocktail for beta particle counting in non-aqueous samples

BetaMax™ ES is an environmentally safe, biodegradable, non-toxic, and non-flammable product designed to work well with most non-aqueous samples, samples dried on solid supports, and organic samples extracted from aqueous mixtures.

It is excellent for samples completely dried that have been recovered on filters of all types. Some membrane filters can be dissolved in 1-2 mL of methyl cellosolve which can be mixed with 10-15 mL of BetaMax™ ES for optimum recovery. Free lipids and steroids can be extracted from an aqueous sample by simply adding the aqueous sample to the BetaMax™ ES and allowing the organic soluble components to migrate across the partition. This usually occurs in approximately 30 minutes at room temperature (the time required to adapt samples to darkness).

Primary Applications: Organic samples, dry filters, test wipes and 3H Acetyl CoA CAT assay extractions.
