A transition is underway from fossil-derived materials to biobased, renewable materials. In this context, the need arises to control the fraction of a material that comes from renewable sources, i.e. that is biogenic.

C14-SCAR is able to perform ¹⁴C analysis on various materials such as fabrics, plastics, fuels, solvents with measurement times and comparable to Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) and with far greater precision and versatility than Liquid Scintillation Counting (LSC).
