Both are commercially promoted as scintillation detectors for α and β particles. In this work, the responses to γ-rays and neutrons of UltimaGold<sup>TM</sup> AB and OptiphaseTriSafe liquid scintillators, without and with reflector, have been measured aiming to use these scintillators as γ-rays and neutron detectors. Responses to γ-rays and neutrons were measured as pulse shape spectra in a multichannel analyzer. Scintillators were exposed to gamma rays produced by <sup>137</sup>Cs,<sup> 54</sup>Mn, <sup>22</sup>Na and <sup>60</sup>Co sources. The response to neutrons was obtained with a <sup>241</sup>AmBe neutron source that was measured to 25 and 50 cm from the scintillators. The pulse height spectra due to gamma rays are shifted to larger channels as the photon energy increases and these responses are different from the response due to neutrons. Thus, UltimaGold<sup>TM</sup> AB and OptiphaseTrisafe can be used to detect γ-rays and neutrons.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Nuclear Physics, Material Sciences, Radiation and Applications}, author={Vega-Carrillo, Hector Rene and Escalona-Llaguno, Martha Isabel and Hernandez-Adame, Luis and Sarmiento-Rosales, Sergio M. and Marquez-Mata, Claudia A. and Campillo-Rivera, Guillermo E. and Singh, V.
