Cerenkov counting efficiency varies with colour quenching and sample t
urbidity. The activity in a plastic vial can be determined accurately
with a colour quenching correction technique, regardless of the presen
ce or absence of turbidity in a sample. On the other hand, the error o
f the measured activity in a glass vial becomes large with increasing
sample turbidity due to the dissimilarity of the quench correction cur
ves for non-turbid and turbid samples.
