Abstract

Dating of the fossil record using amino acid racemization enables us to analyse samples that are millions of years old, providing invaluable information on human evolution and environmental change. Here, we present a microfluidic system for the isolation of intra-crystalline amino acids trapped within tooth enamel. This approach reduces the time taken for analysis but more importantly the amount of sample required, opening up this dating method to be used not only on mammoth teeth but also the most precious hominin samples from our history.
