Table 2 Multiple and single time-point (at 30 min) estimation of the 225Ac and 213Bi activity for sample 3 and 4 containing 213Bi in SEq with 225Ac and an additional amount of 213Bi

From: Gamma counting protocols for the accurate quantification of 225Ac and 213Bi without the need for a secular equilibrium between parent and gamma-emitting daughter
