This paper was conducted to develop a method containing ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple-quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry for simultaneous quantification of six bioactive components in the decoction of Ziziphi spinosae Semen. Analysis was performed on an Agilent ZORBAX Extend-C18 column (2.1 × 100 mm, 1.8 μm) and eluted with a mobile phase system consisting of acetonitrile and water under a gradient program with a flow rate of 0.3 ml/min. The injection volume was 2 μl. Multiple-reaction monitoring scanning detection was employed for quantification with an electrospray ion source in the negative ion mode. All the six compounds showed good linearities (r≥0.9996). The LODs of the six bioactive compounds were 0.039 ng/ml, 0.092 ng/ml, 3.112 ng/ml, 2.131 ng/ml, 0.099 ng/ml, and 0.071 ng/ml for spinosin, 6‴-feruloylspinosin, jujuboside A, jujuboside B, camelliaside B, and betulinic acid, respectively. The LOQs were 0.118 ng/ml, 0.276 ng/ml, 9.336 ng/ml, 6.393 ng/ml, 0.299 ng/ml, and 0.213 ng/ml for spinosin, 6‴-feruloylspinosin, jujuboside A, jujuboside B, camelliaside B, and betulinic acid, respectively. According to our knowledge, it was the first time to establish a method with high efficiency and accuracy for the quantification of six bioactive components in the decoction of Ziziphi spinosae Semen, which would provide references for quality control and evaluation of Ziziphi spinosae Semen.

In 14C tracer studies, and when looking for modern contamination in archaeological samples, it is often necessary to measure the 14C concentration of individual chemical fractions. Gas chromatography (GC) is one method that is frequently used for separation of chemical fractions. The gas ion source at the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit for accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) provides the opportunity to measure fractions from a GC instrument directly. Although the first investigations are likely to be 14C tracer studies, such a GC-AMS system could find much wider application. We present results from a pilot study of the peak sensitivity, baseline stability and crosstalk of the accelerator system used in this way. We also discuss the practical considerations in developing a GC-AMS instrument for routine use.

The first significant experiment using the technique of accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) was reported by Alvarez & Cornog in 1939. It was widely thought at the time that tritium , and not 3 He, was stable, and with that in m ind Rutherford had asked Aston to search for hydrogen of mass three in a specially prepared water sample. The result was negative and Rutherford reported this in the last paper he wrote, which was published in Nature a few months before his death in 1937. Alvarez realized that if 3 He, and not tritium , were stable then it should be present in ordinary helium, presumably at a low abundance level. He therefore fed helium into the ion source of the Berkeley 60 inch cyclotron and soon demonstrated the existence of a 24 MeV beam corresponding to mass three and charge two, a unique combination. This identification was confirmed by a measurement of the range of the accelerated particles. Subsequently, Alvarez & Cornog showed that the abundance of 3 He in atmospheric helium was about ten times greater than in well helium, although their absolute abundances were rather lower than the currently accepted values.
