Luxium Solutions Liquid Scintillators

Liquid scintillator performance can vary for pulse discrimination properties, high flash point, high or low temperatures, plus others. They can be loaded with organo-metallic compounds to increase their neutron or photon cross-sections. In liquid form these scintillators can be economical in large volumes or made in concentrate form to be diluted on site.

Liquid scintillators must be stored in clean, dry, chemically inert containers and deoxygenated prior to use. They are available in bulk or sealed in glass or aluminium.

Luxium Solutions (previously Saint Gobain Crystals) are the premier scintillation detection manufacture for ionizing radiation detection and provide high quality scintillation materials with superior resolution and advanced photo-sensor integration. Their core technology is the manufacturer of high performance engineering materials to solve their customers’ unique challenges. Luxium Solutions and Mi-Net have been working together in the UK and Ireland for over 30 years.
