Conventional Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory. Kiev. C14Welcome to the homepage of Radio analytical laboratory of the Institute of Hygiene and Medical Ecology located at Kiev, Ukraine. We offer conventional radiocarbon dating (analysis) services operating by benzene synthesis and liquid scintillation counting based on Quantulus LSC.It is fully-equipped laboratory, specializing in Conventional Radiocarbon Dating.Responsible person: Michael Buzinny.
We GUARANTEE: Accurate measurements, Competitive prices, Good service, Quality assurance, Rapid turnaround, and Your confidentiality.14C dating is performed in our laboratory using modern conventional (LSC based) method since 1993. For all LS measurements we use LS spectrometer Quantulus 1220TM, produced by PerkinElmer (formerly Wallac Oy). Teflon vials shaped 7 ml, 3 ml, 0,8 ml allow optimize LS counting performance for benzene samples of different mass. We have performed hundreds of carbon-14 analyses for our researches and some for commercial purposes.
