Resin beads as a sample acquisition and loading medium for mass spectrometric analysis

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5040317

This volume is a revised version of a previous edition of this work, ''Practical Aspects of the Resin Bead Technique for Mass Spectrometric Sample Loading.'' It has been updated to include current practice and expanded to cover more topics. Appendices are included to provide step-by-step instructions for many of the required operations. Among the developments reported herein are procedures for acquisition of samples in a hot cell, for loading one thousand beads with uranium and plutonium to reduce the chance of significant contamination, and for loading virtually any amount of sample from 1 ng to 1 ..mu..g on each bead. 24 refs., 10 figs., 3 tabs.
