Separation Techniques for Quantification of Radionuclides in Environmental Samples by Dusan Galanda, Pavol Rajec, Lubomir Mátel, Olga Rosskopfová, Silvia Dulanská

“…We also rated three commercial techniques for the separation of 90Sr from aqueous solutions and found that two of them, AnaLig Sr-01 and Empore Extraction Disks, were suitable for the quantitative and reliable separation of 90Sr, while the third, Sr-Spec Resin, was less so. The main criterion in evaluating these methods was the chemical recovery of 90Sr, which was less than we had expected. …”
