Accelerator mass spectrometry for biomedical research.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, California, USA.

Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) is the most sensitive method for detecting and quantifying rare long-lived isotopes with high precision. In this chapter, we review the principles underlying AMS-based biomedical studies, focusing on important practical considerations and experimental procedures needed for the detection and quantitation of (14)C- and (3)H-labeled compounds in various experiment types.
