André E. Lalonde Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Laboratory (AEL AMS) at the University of Ottawa in Ottawa, Canada; Beta Analytic Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Facility in Miami, Florida; Center for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (CAMS) at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; Center for Applied Isotope Studies (CAIS) at University of Georgia.
Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) is a form of mass spectrometry that accelerates ions to extraordinarily high kinetic energies before mass analysis. The special strength of AMS among the different methods of mass spectrometry is its ability to separate a rare isotope from an abundant neighboring mass ("abundance sensitivity", e.g. 14 C from 12 C). [1]
As a laboratory, part of its aim is to function as a research center, training center, and general community resource. Its stated mission is conducting original research in cosmogenic isotopes. The AMS laboratory was established in 1981 at the University of Arizona. [1] [2] This laboratory is used primarily to provide radiocarbon measurements
The facility has a custom-made 3 mega-volt tandem accelerator mass spectrometer. [2] It also has a 200 sample ion source, a high resolution, 120° injection magnet, a 90° high energy analysis magnet (mass-energy product 350 MeV-AMU), a 65°, 1.7 m radius electric analyzer and a 2 channel gas ionization detector.

The Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience or Whitney Marine Lab at the University of Florida is a research and teaching facility, that conducts research pertaining to Marine Bioscience. [ 1 ] The Marine lab can be traced back to the benefactor Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney , who donated numerous acres to the University of Florida so that a ...
Carbon dating the Dead Sea Scrolls refers to a series of radiocarbon dating tests performed on the Dead Sea Scrolls, first by the AMS (Accelerator Mass Spectrometry) lab of the Zurich Institute of Technology in 1991 and then by the AMS Facility at the University of Arizona in Tucson in 1994–95.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Wednesday banning and criminalizing the manufacture and sale of lab-grown meat in the state. The legislation joins similar efforts from three other states ...
All of these groups were reorganized as the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratories (AOML) and by 1973 took occupancy in the new laboratory constructed on Virginia Key. New projects include expansion of the use of satellite and locally operated remote sensing techniques to enhance the coverage and detail of observations.
