Hello = again,

We want to = remind you of the Sample Prep workshop being run by Jocelyn Turnbull at = the Radiocarbon 20^th International Conference (www.radiocarbon2009.org).

The workshop is = meant to be an open discussion, but will include the following = topics:

1. Most AMS prep labs have = done exhaustive testing of reaction conditions for graphitization, = including reaction temperatures, type of catalyst, amount of catalyst, = reaction times, methods for removing water, etc. As we move to = higher precision and smaller samples, the finer details are becoming = more important. Many of the method details are not published, or = have been refined since publication, and sharing this information would = be useful for all of us who work in this area.

2. Target = packing for AMS has a similar host of details which can improve AMS = performance.

3. = Combustion, hydrolysis and other gas purification methods can also be = discussed, with particular reference to issues related to small samples = and to high precision measurements.

Those = interested can email Jocelyn Turnbull at Jocelyn.Turnbull@noaa.gov with = suggestions or questions regarding the workshop.
