Aliquoting

For samples that are suitable for aliquoting, take 15ml and place in a scintillation vial.

The most accurate quantitative deposition can be made by gravimetric aliquoting procedures, although volumetric aliquoting is reasonably accurate.

In recent years, automated sample sorter systems have been introduced to cope with the workload of large reference laboratories and automated aliquoting systems have provided a simplified alternative to time-consuming and cumbersome manual aliquoting procedures.

The first part of statistical significance refers to sampling a container in a statistically significant way (more accurately called aliquoting).
