This award provides one-half the funds necessary for the acquisition of equipment to automate the sample preparation at the University of Arizona Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) facility. The University of Arizona is committed to providing the remaining funds needed. The University of Arizona AMS facility is the principal U.S. laboratory for the analysis of radiocarbon at very low concentration or in very small samples available to the research community in the geosciences, anthropology, and archaeology. The equipment upgrade is intended to increase the capability of the facility to analyze samples from 1500 per year (current capacity) to approximately 2500 per year.

该合同提供了购买亚利桑那大学加速器质谱学(AMS)设施的自动化样品制备设备所需资金的一半。亚利桑那大学致力于提供所需的剩余资金。亚利桑那大学的AMS设施是美国主要的实验室，用于分析极低浓度或极小样本中的放射性碳，供地球科学、人类学和考古学的研究界使用。设备升级的目的是将该设施分析样品的能力从每年1500人(目前的能力)增加到每年约2500人。
