Abstract
Statistical considerations suggest that fraction collection followed by liquid scintillation counting offers the possibility of greater sensitivity and accuracy for low-activity measurement of radioactivity in HPLC eluates than dose continuous-flow measurement, albeit with considerable inconvenience. However, when the randomness associated with fraction collection is taken into account, presumed advantages of fraction collection largely or wholly disappear and the trend to replace fraction collection with continuous measurement is justified.
