Abstract

We are developing ³H AMS to measure ³H activity of mg-sized biological samples. LLNL has already successfully applied ¹⁴C AMS to a variety of problems in the area of biomedical research. Development of ³H AMS would greatly complement these studies. The ability to perform ³H AMS measurements at sensitivities equivalent to those obtained for ¹⁴C will allow us to perform experiments using compounds that are not readily available in C-tagged form. A ³H capability would also allow us to perform unique double-labeling experiments in which we learn the fate, distribution, and metabolism of separate fractions of biological compounds.
