system: Equipment that analyzes the type and strength of isotope in the sample by measuring the unique released energy of the radiation isotope.
These radioisotopes with low specific activities (produced from neutron reactions on natural stable isotopes of Hg in nuclear reactors) were used for imaging in the 1950s and 1960s.
The NIH researchers utilize a very wide range of radionuclides and DRS must maintain a counting capability for all nuclides in use, to a degree of sensitivity that allows for the accurate detection of radiological contamination within 10% of allowable limits.
The technology works by converting the atoms in the sample into a beam of fast-moving ions which will then be measured by a magnetic or electric field. AMS technologies require a minimum sample size of (less than 1 mg) of carbon and proper isotope dilution which can be a tedious and long process.
The NMR spectrometer specified in this Acquisition is fine-tuned for the needs of proton-detected 13C or 15N stable isotope experiments as well as rapid analysis of intact surgical tissue and biopsy specimens by high resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) NMR.
