What's the difference between scintillate and scintillation?

Scintillate


Definition:

  • (v. i.) To emit sparks, or fine igneous particles.
  • (v. i.) To sparkle, as the fixed stars.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Radioactivity attained in different tissues at different times after a single intraperitoneal injection of 3H-gentamicin into male rats was determined using scintillation counting.
  • (2) An accurate and reproducible method is described for generating a map of the cobalt sheet source from images of it made in multiple positions with the scintillation camera.
  • (3) (The scintillation medium is preheated with ethanolamine to eliminate chemiluminescence.)
  • (4) [8(-14)C]Inosine monophosphate formed was separated by high-voltage electrophoresis and radioactivity was measured by liquid-scintillation counting.
  • (5) With liquid scintillation counting after two-dimensional gel electrophoresis it is possible to estimate the proportion of species-specific ribosomal protein in a mouse-hamster somatic cell hybrid.
  • (6) Plasma data and scintillation camera images obtained from patients receiving either 1, 50, or 100 mg of monoclonal antibody indicated dose-dependent (i.e., saturable) kinetics.
  • (7) Features of this spectrometer which make it more suitable than the previously employed scintillation spectrometers for the observation of granulocyte and other chemiluminescent systems include; (1) the ability to measure CL immediately upon reaction initiation; (2) simplicity of photomultiplier tube exchange; and (3) built-in optical filter holders for spectral analysis.
  • (8) A simple scanning apparatus, similar to that used in a hand-held scintillation probe, was compared with simultaneous measurements made by a gamma camera in 16 healthy males.
  • (9) We conclude that analog motion correction should be provided in all scintillation cameras used for liver scintigraphy.
  • (10) To investigate the potential application of radionuclide computed tomography (RCT) to nuclear medicine imaging using 99mTc, a tomographic system using a lightweight scintillation camera for brain imaging was constructed, and lesion contrast with RCT and conventional scintigraphy were compared.
  • (11) Larger detectors with converging collimation result in much higher photon input rates to the scintillation crystal in routine clinical studies than has occurred in the past.
  • (12) Samples were assayed using liquid scintillation counting and the iodoantipyrine results were regressed against the butanol results.
  • (13) A device based on an 8080 microprocessor was assembled for the generation of image data in a manner similar to that of the scintillation camera.
  • (14) Graft segments, effluents, and seeding suspension were assayed in a beta scintillation counter.
  • (15) Metabolism of 2-aminofluorene was measured both colorimetrically (formation of a reduced iron chelate from the N-hydroxyfluorene metabolite) and radiochemically (separation of 3H-metabolites by high performance liquid chromatography and quantitation by scintillation counting).
  • (16) The bioluminescence marker was expressed in the presence of n-decanal, and was monitored as chemiluminescence in a liquid scintillation counter.
  • (17) The migration of the donor lymphocytes was followed by labeling them in vitro with either [3H] or [14C]uridine and measuring radioactivity by scintillation counting of the spleen and lymph nodes of the recipients removed 24 h after injection and in TDL collected throughout this period.
  • (18) By utilizing the gamma-emitting isotope of selenium, Se-(8-azidoadenosyl)[75Se]selenomethionine eliminates the need for the impregnation of acrylamide gels with fluorographic enhancers and dilution of liquid samples into scintillation cocktails, as is required with the commonly used methyl-3H-labeled and 35S-labeled S-(8-azidoadenosyl)methionine.
  • (19) Of 116 patients who had undergone combined liver-lung scintillation imaging, 23 with negative studies had abnormal subphrenic spaces at operation, and 5 with positive studies had abnormal subphrenic spaces at laparotomy (hematomas, bile spillage, serous fluid or abscess); 4 of 6 nonexplored positive studdies showed resolution of defects on serial imaging.
  • (20) Elution with 2 X 5 ml of 0.1 M sodium chloride in 5 mM ammonium acetate removes all of the orotate and leaves all of the product orotidine monophosphate (OMP) bound so that it may be measured in a scintillation counter.
