| Abstract: |
Disclosed are materials
and systems useful in determining the existence of radionuclides
in an aqueous sample. The materials provide the dual functionality
of both extraction and scintillation to the systems. The systems
can be both portable and simple to use, and as such can beneficially
be utilized to determine presence and optionally concentration
of radionuclide contamination in an aqueous sample at any desired
location and according to a relatively simple process without
the necessity of complicated sample handling techniques. The disclosed
systems include a one-step process, providing simultaneous extraction
and detection capability, and a two-step process, providing a
first extraction step that can be carried out in a remote field
location, followed by a second detection step that can be carried
out in a different location.
