| Description | Despite the great potential of the AMS technique $for^{14}$C dating of milligram samples, the use of multiple miniature counter systems is still promising. Investment costs are relatively low and long-term financing of age determinations can be held within bounds. We have developed $a^{14}$C dating system containing 10 miniature counters for $30,000, whereas commercial systems usually cost more than $ 150,000. Counting is not quite as good as that of the technically more sophisticated commercial systems, but the disadvantage for routine work is not significant. $CO_{2}$preparation and purification take less than 30 minutes of active work including measurement and data evaluation. The cost of one age determination on a 22mg sample is about $35.00. |
