# NH PHL Discipline C Rad Chem Analytical Track 2 - Capability Capacity Development

> **NIH FDA U19** · NH STATE DEPT/HLTH STATISTICS/DATA MGMT · 2020 · $115,000

## Abstract

Discipline C: Radiochemistry 
Analytical Track 2: Radiochemistry Capacity/Capability Development 
The NH PHL Radiochemistry Laboratory plans to expand its radionuclide testing capability for 
tritium (H-3) during year 1 of this agreement. In this expansion capability effort, NH 
Radiochemistry Laboratory intends to carry out the following specifics: 
 1. Purchase a new Liquid Scintillation Counter to analyze for tritium (a low energy beta- 
emitter) 
 2. Train designated staff in the analysis of foods beta-emitters using LSC specific 
procedures; 
 3. Demonstrate competency through a proficiency test offered by FDA or another suitable 
 proficiency testing program or a laboratory developed competency exercise. 
 4. Radiochemistry Laboratory staff will attend the annual LFFM Face-to-Face Meeting. 
This capability development will allow the NH PHL to expand the already significant capabilities 
present in the laboratory, as well as the national capacity in the detection of tritium in food 
products. FDA has identified this specific need, and the NH PHL has the personnel and expertise 
to provide this expansion.
