Poznań Radiocarbon Laboratory

 

AMS Laboratory

The ¹⁴C dating unit in Poznań consists of the Poznań Radiocarbon Laboratory (PRL) and the AMS Laboratory (LAMS). The natural sample are acquired by the PRL, transformed into a form of graphite and forwarded for ¹⁴C AMS measurement in LAMS. The results of the AMS measurement come back to PRL which calculates ¹⁴C ages and reports them to the customer. Both laboratories (PLR and LAMS) are housed at the same floor and leaded by the same person, so the communication between them is extremely fast and effective.

Organisation of the dating unit is an effect of cooperation of the Adam Mickiewicz University, and the Foundation of the A. Mickiewicz University. The unit is housed in the area of the Poznań Park of Science and Technology.
