Radioisotope Analysis Laboratory in Delhi: Advanced Radionuclide Identification
AumNamah Radioanalytical Laboratory in Delhi helps organisations define radioisotope analysis requirements for submitted samples. Radionuclide identification and activity measurement can support water investigations, food specifications, environmental monitoring and industrial material assessments when the analytical scope is clearly defined.
Start with the radionuclide question
A radioisotope analysis request should explain what the result needs to establish. You may need to investigate a known isotope, characterise suitable gamma emitters or follow up an overall activity screen. Provide any relevant process information, previous measurements and buyer requirements. This helps distinguish a targeted investigation from a general request that may leave important questions unanswered.
Use the emission type to guide method selection
Gamma spectrometry can support identification of suitable gamma-emitting radionuclides. Selected alpha and beta emitters can require radiochemical preparation and different counting techniques. Natural decay series introduce additional interpretation considerations, particularly where processing has changed the relationship between parent and daughter radionuclides. No single method provides a complete inventory of every radioisotope.
Distinguish activity from elemental concentration
An activity result expresses radioactive decay, commonly in becquerels or becquerels per unit mass or volume. An elemental concentration expresses the amount of an element by mass. These are different measurements and cannot be substituted without an appropriate scientific basis. State whether the project needs activity, mass concentration or both before the laboratory confirms a test plan.
Preparing your sample
Share the sample type, target isotope list and purpose of the report. Include the required units, detection capability and any earlier results. Contact the laboratory to confirm the specific method, sample acceptance, preparation and current accreditation scope. Keep sample labels and request-form identifiers consistent.

- Share your requirement. Send the sample description, test objective and reporting specification.
- Confirm the analytical scope. Agree the method, sample quantity, applicable accreditation scope, quotation and turnaround before submission.
- Submit the agreed sample. Follow the laboratory's handling instructions and include a completed service request form.
Frequently asked questions
Are radioisotopes and radionuclides the same type of testing enquiry?
Both terms are commonly used when requesting analysis of radioactive isotopes. The practical requirement is to specify the target nuclides, sample matrix and measurement objective.
Can an elemental uranium result replace an isotope activity result?
They measure different quantities. Discuss whether the requirement concerns elemental mass concentration, individual isotope activity or another defined parameter.
How do I request an unknown radionuclide investigation?
Describe the sample origin, suspected source and any screening results. The team can review which methods are suitable and clarify their identification limits before accepting the work.
