Poznańskie Laboratorium Radiowęglowe

In summer 2004, we extended our sample preparation lines. This expansion significantly increased our throughput and reduced our turnover time.

Due to a large demand for ¹⁴C dating in our laboratory, we extended our lines for sample preparation. In detail, our vacuum lines for production of CO₂ and graphitisation have been doubled.

Decision on extension was made in February 2004, the new lines were assembled in May-June, commissioned in July-August, and have been in routine use since the beginning of September 2004.

The extension significantly increased our throughput.

At both pictures: the 3-yr old (left side of pictures) and the new (right-hand side) vacuum lines for graphitisation. At the background of the right picture, the lines (left-old and right-new) for sample combustion are visible.

The new lines were assembled in an express time of six weeks.
