Title: Matrix assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) and laser desorption ionization (LDI) mass spectrometry for trace uranium determination: The use of C<Subscript>60</Subscript>-fullerene as a matrix.
Authors: Havel, J.; Soto-Guerrero, J.
Abstract: Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) is the most sensitive, safe and precise analytical method for quantifying long-lived isotope in biomedical research with animals as well as human beings. In Korea, AMS Laboratory has been operating successfully for years measuring especially archeological samples for<Superscript>14</Superscript>C dating. In this year, a biological sample pretreatment facility was setup and we have also started to work on biomedical applications. As a preliminary study, we have measured the natural background levels of<Superscript>14</Superscript>C in tissues and blood of humans and rats. The results were agreed with the other reported levels and gave stable and reproducible results within 1-2%.
