A new commercially available automated blood sampling system (ABSS) for positron emission tomography has been evaluated. The system uses a single BGO crystal and detects with high efficiency the annihilation radiation from tracers, labelled with positron emitting isotopes, in arterial blood. In addition the possibilities to use the ABSS as a detector in the analysis of the plasma samples with liquid chromatography techniques under flow conditions has been explored.
