We present a status report of the accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) facility at the University of California,
Irvine, USA. Recent spectrometer upgrades and repairs are discussed. Modifications to preparation laboratory procedures
designed to improve sample throughput efficiency while maintaining precision of 2–3‰ for 1-mg samples (Santos et al.
2007c) are presented.
