SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HIGH-THROUGHPUT, MINIMALLY-INVASIVE RADIATION BIODOSIMETRY

摘要

A method for obtaining a sample, determining the sample's metabolomic signature, comparing that signature to at least one known metabolomic signature, and quantifying the radiation exposure of the sample Sample sources may include blood, blood plasma, sweat, urine, sebum, saliva, or cells, or a combination thereof The method may utilize samples obtained noninvasively The method may be capable of high throughput, 50, 100, 1000, 10,000, 100,000, or more samples per hour The method may utilize samples from mice, humans, or other mammals The method may utilize chromatography, mass spectroscopy, or radiofrequency differential ion mobility spectrometry analysis, or a combination thereof The method may employ software for comparing the metabolomic signature of the sample with at least one known radiation exposure metabolomics signature
