Specification

LS 6500 Scintillation Counters combine advanced scintillation technology, configurability to meet your exact requirements and built-in upgradability to add features as you need them. Beckman Coulter offers unparalleled flexibility in a single high performance system, without the need of a dedicated external computer, and a partnership with you that begins with system installation and continues throughout the lifetime of your instrument.

The Basic System

The LS 6500 Liquid Scintillation Counting systems provide:

*
Advanced Technology
State-of-the-art instrument that eliminates early obsolescence by integrating the counting system, computer power and data management.
* Configurability
Enhancement packs and single options let you tailor the system to meet your specific requirements.
* Upgradeability
Add features and future enhancement packs throughout the lifetime of the system if your applications change.

State-of-the-Art Design...
Advanced electronic components, such as a Motorola 68000 Series microprocessor supported by a digital signal processor, maximize technological lifetime and make the LS 6500 fast and efficient.

High Spectral Resolution...
A 32,768 channel multichannel analyzer gives you an eight-fold improvement in effective resolution (0.06 keV per channel) over that of conventional liquid scintillation counters (0.5 keV per channel). This provides the basis for:

* DPM results without quench curves
* A more precise quench monitor
* Superior results for multi-label studies
* Automatic color detection and correction

Accurate Results...
Our patented H-Number Plus is standard in LS 6500 Value Systems and represents a significant improvement in accuracy and reproducibility. Quench is determined to a tenth of a channel.

...and Simple Operation
The LS 6500 guides you with ease-to-follow menus and context-sensitive help screens. Operate the system without an external computer. Store and transfer data securely with the optional Data Buffer & Transfer System.

Product Features
