Characterisation of N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine (NAG) as a Lyoluminescent Dosemeter

J. Azorin and A. Gutiérrez

Lyoluminescent properties of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (NAG) were investigated for their suitability as a dosemeter in a lyoluminescent system using sensitised solutions as solvents. Temperature and pH of the solvents were also varied. The detection limit for the system NAG-luminol at 20 oC using a solvent pH value of 10.6 was of the order of 3 mGy. The reproducibility was within ± 5% for doses of the order of 1 Gy. Measurements with isoluminol showed slightly higher amplification of the LL signal than that obtained with luminol.
