[en] Radiocarbon dating has become the most aspiring science in the 20th century. The technique has enabled scientists and archaeologists to come up with a decisive answer on the carbon content left in the archaeological, hydrological and environmental samples thus lead to the estimation of age. MINT Radiocarbon Dating Laboratory has been equipped with Direct Absorption Method-CARBOSORB as an alternative to benzene-derived method for radiometric technique. The latter technique is fast, less cumbersome and convenient as compared to the current technique. A constant weight of C/P solutions for each standard, background and sample is placed in a vial. Liquid Scintillation Counter (LSC) has been widely used to determine the beta activity remained in the samples for the analysis. (Author)
