Abstract

The established coincidence method of determining125I activities has been adapted for use with a multisample gamma counter. The method has been extended to include a formula which has been derived to indicate the precision of the measured activities. The validity of this formula has been tested and found to be satisfactory. The techniques used to select appropriate counting conditions are described.
