Abstract  

It is imperative to use a leak-proof container for counting liquid sample to prevent contamination of costly gamma detectors. We report in this technical note a sealant that ensures no leak. It is a vinyl adhesive sealant used for household purposes, marketed by Gloucester Co., Inc, Franklin, MA under the trade name of Phenoseal (translucent variety). This sealant was superior to other sealants studied because it cures quickly, peels off easily after counting, and contains no detectable radioactivity. We have thoroughly tested this sealant in our laboratory and successfully employed it in the routine analysis of environmental liquid samples.
