Biological Accelerator Mass Spectrometry at Uppsala University

• A new research programme for the biological applications of accelerator   mass spectrometry has been initiated at Uppsala University and the   first results are presented. A C-14-labelled pharmaceutical substance   has been dissolved in human blood, plasma and urine and diluted over 3   orders of magnitude. The measured drug concentrations were found to be   in good agreement with the predicted values. Furthermore, the effect of   the sample preparation background contribution has been studied as the   sample amount was varied down to sub-mu l sizes.
