This report provides a description of sample preparation method for measurement of in-situ belliyum-10 (
Be) and allumium-26 (
Al) in terrestrial quartz using accelerator mass spectrometry at Tono Geoscience Center, Japan Atomic Energy Agency. The report is based on the laboratory manual "Chemistry for in-situ Be and Al measurement for terrestrial quartz by AMS at MALT ver.1.3 and ver.2.2" prepared by ph.D Matsushi at Kyoto University.

Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：100(Instruments & Instrumentation)JAEA-AMS-TONO has been in operation at the Tono Geoscience Center, Japan Atomic Energy Agency since 1998 and 20 years have passed from the beginning of its utilization. The AMS system is a versatile system based on a 5 MV tandem Pelletron type accelerator. The system has been used to measure carbon-14 (
C), beryllium-10 (Be) and aluminium-26 (Al). In addition, the development of measurement of iodine-129 (
I) has been started. The main use is measurement of C in geological samples for dating studies in neotectonics and hydrogeology. In order to increase the speed of sample preparation, we introduced the automated graphitization equipment and made a gas-strip line to collect dissolved inorganic carbon in groundwater samples. Measurement of Be and Al has been used for geoscience studies and the detection limit in the measurement of Be was improved by 
Be-counting suppression. Recently tuning of measurement condition of I has been progressed.

AMS is widely used for radiocarbon dating of geological samples. However, improvement in efficiency of sample preparation techniques are needed for high-time resolution dataset. In 2016, automated graphitization equipment (AGE3, IonPlus AG) has been installed in Toki Research Institute of Isotope Geology and Geochronology, Tono Geoscience Center, JAEA. Background values and carbon recovery rates during preparation process of AGE3 should be estimated before application in radiocarbon dating. In this study, the AGE3 system was evaluated using the international standard materials (IAEA-C1, C4, C5, C6, C7, C9 and NIST-SRM4990C) at JAEA-AMS-TONO. Graphite samples was prepared by the AGE3 system and radiocarbon concentration of these standards was measured by AMS. The results were agreement with the consensus values. Background values were 0.15
0.01 pMC (IAEA-C1) using the AGE3 system. Therefore, we concluded that the system can be adapted for radiocarbon dating of geological samples.

Accelerator Mass Spectrometry is widely used for radiometric dating of geological samples. However, improvement in efficiency of sample preparation techniques and trace analysis are needed for high-time resolution dataset. To improve in efficiency of sample preparation techniques and trace analysis, the elemental analyzer and automated graphitization equipment 3 (EA-AGE3) were installed at the Tono Geoscience Center, JAEA. In this study, small amount graphitization of international standard reference materials for radiocarbon dating was tested by the EA-AGE3. For the trace analysis, radiocarbon measurements were performed by the AMS system. The radiocarbon concentrations of the standard materials were good agreement with the consensus values by the international radiocarbon conference within 2
