Single-stage accelerator mass spectrometer

Young GC, Corless S, Felgate CC, Colthup PV. Comparison of a 250kV single-stage accelerator mass spectrometer with a 5 MV tandem accelerator mass spectrometer— Fitness for purpose in bioanalysis. Rapid Commun Mass Spectrom 2008 22 (24) 4035-4042. 

Labant (2014) points out using in vitro ADME-Tox assays and getting more biological data from each experiment. The use of specialized instrumentation, such as single-stage accelerator mass spectrometer (SSAMS), is suggested so trace amounts of metabolites can be...
