Abstract
Tritium as a tool for studying intermediary metabolism and as a clinical tool for diagnosis and radiotherapy is discussed in the light of recent developments in the labeling of organic compounds with tritium by the self- irradiation method. Tbe assay of tritium by liquid scintillation counting is discussed, and the design of an automatic windowless scanner for tritiated chromatograms is described. (auth)
