A range of parameters affects Itrax core scanner response. These include operational instrument factors such as anode tube type, current and voltage settings, the effect of protective films applied to prevent sample desiccation and also physical factors related to the sample itself such as surface topography, textural variation and water content. This paper examines the significance of these factors on recorded counts and hence allows an assessment of their impact on data integrity.
