Abstract A simple and precise method is presented for the radioassay of chromic phosphate 32P suspension by Cerenkov counting. An aliquot is weighed, dissolved, diluted, and then counted directly in a conventional liquid scintillation counter. The internal standard technique is used to provide color quench correction. This method is particularly useful for high specific activity samples. The standard deviation for the analysis of 3 aliquots, each determined in triplicate, was 1.9%.
