EcoLite(+)™ is a unique formulation of environmentally safe, nontoxic, and biodegradable media possessing exceptional water and salt holding characteristics.

Difficult-to-count RIA samples, basic samples, phosphate buffer samples, and biological fluids can be counted using EcoLite(+)™, with maximum solubilization resulting in
stable counting solutions. Tritium and C counting efficiency of these samples is exceptionally high.

EcoLite(+)™ is a new generation environmentally safe liquid scintillation cocktail that can be used for virtually all aqueous and non-aqueous samples. It is particularly useful for HPLC fractions, urea, phosphate buffers, protein digests, urine and many other applications where conventional cocktails fail to provide homogeneous counting solutions.

EcoLite(+)™ remains monophasic from 0-30% load capacity. Samples are counted by simply adding them to 10-15 mL of EcoLite(+)™, shaking until clear and counting. NOTE: Temperature and salt concentration will affect sample solubility, as well as, the physical characteristics of a surfactant based cocktail. It is recommended that the counting temperature be considered when determining the proper sample to cocktail ratio. Where phase separation occurs, increase the amount of EcoLite(+)™ or dilute with small amounts of distilled water until the sample clears and remains at the desired counting temperature.

Special Characteristics - EcoLite(+)™ is extremely efficient with both H and C samples. It is very fluid, easily pipetted and mixed without sample up to the maximum load capacity. EcoLite(+)™ does not diffuse into or through polyethylene vials, thereby eliminating erroneous external standard quench measurements due to the vial
wall diffusion effect. It has an extremely low vapor pressure which minimizes volatiles and odors under normal laboratory use. It works well with sodium hydroxide samples up to 0.5 N.
