After 48 h, tritiated thymidine was added to the cells for 4 h. Cells were then collected on microfiltered plates, and thymidine incorporation was measured with a Top Count
microplate scintillation counter (Canberra - Packard, Meriden, CT, USA).
Several types of X-ray detectors have been used, involving Geiger counters, proportional counters, and
scintillation counters.
The General Instrumentation Core provides access to scientific instrumentation including high speed and ultra centrifuges,
scintillation counters, cryostats, plate readers, spectrophotometers, and gel - imaging systems.
