VILNIUS RADIOCARBON

VILNIUS RADIOCARBON started in 2018 at the largest research organization in Lithuania - Center for Physical Sciences and Technology (FTMC). From 2015, there is a 240 kV single stage accelerator mass spectrometer (SSAMS, National Electrostatics Corporation, USA) installed and a modern radiocarbon dating sample preparation laboratory with elemental analyzer (EA, Vario Isotope Select, Elementar, GmbH) connected to the Automated Graphitization Equipment AGE 3 (Ionplus AG)... C14 identified limits range of geological, archaeological biological samples are from present day back to 50.000 BP. Only organic matter that has ever lived absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere can be dated: wood, plants, bone, leather, paper, shells, hair, teeth, charcoal, even groundwater. Metals, rocks, stones are not suitable material for expedient radiocarbon dating... C14 dating of archaeological and geological samples from present day back to 50.000 BP using the most advanced method - AMS.
