英文摘要
The feasibility of laser-based, detection of carbon-14 at Accelerator Mass Spectrometer (AMS) sensitivities
has been demonstrated, but these instruments require large samples sizes and lack compatibility with systems
common to biological labs—such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). With their ability to
quickly detect and quantify ever smaller amounts of material, LC-MS systems are valued for their capacity to
isolate individual biomolecules. As a result, LC-MS coupling is now stipulated for the success and adoption of
new biological instrumentation. Consequently, we propose to develop a laser-based, carbon-14 spectrometer
for biology using saturated-absorption cavity ring-down spectroscopy (SCARS). This instrument will have similar
sensitivity to AMS (~10-15 14C/C limit-of-detection), the ability to handle nanogram to microgram sized samples,
and the capability to measure analytes separated by LC systems. This level of carbon-14 sensitivity and the
techniques it affords are currently restricted to room-sized AMS instruments that cost millions of dollars and
require several dedicated Ph.D. level scientists for operation. The SCAR instrument would be much smaller
(table-top sized), cheaper, and easier to operate. The accessibility coupled with the extreme sensitivity of this
technology will enable high-throughput, small-sample-size experiments and bring carbon-14 measurements into
the modern biological laboratory. This instrument will enhance LC/MS systems—providing a means to
quantitatively analyze complex biochemical systems in any research lab. This will have an impact on biology
from basic science experiments to more applied human subject studies in drug development.
