The Low Level Counting Laboratory of Packard Instrument Company was organized and began operations in the fall of 1963 with the development and construction of the Packard Tri-carb® Benzene Synthesizer. This instrument is designed to consolidate into a small area (6 ft × 8 ft) the equipment necessary to quickly and efficiently convert carbon-containing material or tritium water samples into benzene—an ideal solvent for liquid scintillation counting.
