C14-SCAR: Laser-Based Radiocarbon Measurement Device
ppqSense has developed a novel laser spectroscopy technique named Saturated-absorption CAvity Ring-down (SCAR). The C14-SCAR instrument uses an all-optical configuration to detect radiocarbon dioxide molecules with maximum precision and accuracy.
- Fast Radiocarbon Measurement (<20 min)
- Particle sensitivity of one part per quadrillion (ppq)
- Smaller and more affordable than competing technologies
High-Quality Electronics for Spectroscopy
Based on its experience in ultra-high-sensitivity spectroscopy research, ppqSense manufactures and sells low-noise drivers that provide a ready-to-use integrated solution for quantum cascade and semiconductor lasers and high-performance mid-infrared detection systems with integrated optics.
- Low current noise (<1 nA/sqrt(Hz))
- Modular Design (over 32 possible configurations)
- Laboratory & Field-ready (custom solutions available)
Measurement & Rental Services
We offer accredited C14 analysis for determination of fossil / biogenic content. The measurement is performed according to ASTM D6866, with the modification that the SCAR method is used instead of one of the methods mentioned in the standard.
- Within-the-week processing turnaround
- <0.5 pMC measurement precision
- Instrument rental solutions for custom measurement campaigns
