Gamma counter

Manufactured by Mirion Technologies
Sourced in United States

The Gamma Counter is a laboratory instrument designed to measure the radioactivity of samples by detecting and quantifying gamma radiation. It provides precise measurements of the amount of gamma-emitting isotopes present in a sample.

Blood samples were obtained between 08:00 AM and 10:00 AM after 12 hours of fasting. Serum was separated and stored at −20°C until further analyses. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), free testosterone, estradiol (E2), progesterone, free thyroxin (FT4), free triiodothyronine (FT3), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels were measured with standard radioimmunoassay (RIA) on gamma counter (Capintec, USA). Immunoradiometric (IRMA) kit (Diagnostic Systems Laboratories, USA) was used for assaying serum leptin levels. The sensitivity of leptin IRMA kit (lowest detectable limit) was 0.1 ng per milliliter and intra- and interassay coefficients of variations were less than 8%. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) concentrations were determined by glucose oxidase method.

Mass spectra and
ESI-MS in positive
and negative modes were generated using an in-house Agilent 6310 system
ion trap. Proton and carbon NMR spectra too were acquired using an
in-house Bruker ADVANCE II spectrometer (1H NMR and 13C NMR, 400 and 100 Hz). A well-type calibrated Capintec Gamma
counter was used for radiolabeling counting. The MTT assay absorbance
was acquired using a BioTek Synergy H4 hybrid multiplate reader. MicroSPECT
acquisitions were performed using a GE_FLEX Triumph MicroPET/SPECT/CT
triple-modality system. HRMS was done using a Thermo Scientific Q
Exactive Plus Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometer.

PET Imaging of Copper-64 Labeled Antibody

Mice were anesthetized with 3.0% isoflurane in oxygen and maintained under 1.5–2.0% isoflurane. 64Cu-169cDb (4.15 ± 1.11 μg/animal, 6.78 ± 1.22 MBq/animal) was administered by tail vein injection and PET imaging was conducted on an Inveon DPET small animal PET scanner (Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Knoxville, TN) for 30 min at 0, 5 and 24 h post injection. After each PET scan, the animals were moved to a small animal Inveon MM CT system (Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Knoxville, TN) and a CT scan was conducted to obtain anatomical information for co-registration of PET/CT images. Whole body activity was measured between scans with a gamma-counter (Capintec, Inc. NJ). After the final imaging time point, mice were euthanized by cervical dislocation under deep isoflurane. Blood, urine and organs (thymus, bone, stomach, intestine, liver, spleen, kidneys, heart, lungs, thigh muscle), lymph nodes (inguinal, axillary, mesenteric, cervical), and tumors were harvested for biodistribution analysis using a 1470 automatic gamma counter (PerkinElmer, CT) after which organs weights were taken on a microbalance. In some cases, organs were briefly scanned to obtain ex-vivo PET data and organs were evaluated with histological stains.

Pharmacokinetics of 131I-NM-02 in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The pharmacokinetic profile of 131I-NM-02 was studied in five 6-week-old normal ICR mice. Each mouse was administered 740 kBq 131I-NM-02, corresponding to 1 μg of NM-02 in 200 μL of saline. Blood was collected in 10-μL capillary tubes at designated time points (1, 2, 5, 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min). The radioactivity of the blood samples was measured using a gamma counter (Capintec, Florham Park, NJ, USA) to calculate the percentage of injection dose per gram (% ID/g) of the wet tissue. Pharmacokinetic data were analyzed using DAS 2.0 (Shanghai, China), and the half-life of 131I-NM-02 in the blood was analyzed using a three-compartment model.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
