Equipment

The present equipment of the Department of Radioisotopes consists of:
  1. Two liquid scintillation alpha and beta spectrometers QUANTULUS™ 1220, manufactured by Wallac, used by the Radiocarbon Laboratory for precise measurements of natural radioactivities of 14C and many other isotopes (e.g., tritium 3H, radon 222Rn).
  2. Two liquid scintillation counters ICELS, for natural radiocarbon measurements.
  3. Three assemblies of gas proportional counters for measurements of radiocarbon concentrations in samples containing carbon of organic and inorganic origin.
  4. Vacuum line for preparation of graphite targets for 14C AMS dating.
  5. Vacuum lines for CO2 production and purification for GPC measurement.
  6. Line to conversion samples to the benzene
  7. Automatic reader of TL and OSL signals, manufactured by DAYBREAK, for measurements of the absorbed radiation dose
  8. Thermoluminescence reader of TL dosimeters
  9. Gamma spectrometer with the HPGe detector, manufactured by CANBERRA (with all the necessary software)
  10. Alpha spectrometer with the Si detector, manufactured by CANBERRA (with all the necessary software)
  11. Two gamma scintillation spectrometers of our own construction, used for measurements of radioactivity in liquid and bulk materials.
  12. Mass Spectrometer IsoPrime.
  13. Line for α-cellulose extraction from tree rings
  14. Device for precise measurements of annual tree ring width.
  15. Radiocarbon DataBase ROSE.
  16. Luminescence Database.
