Prepare shipment

Prepare sample shipment

Fill out the shipping form indicating the following information

1. The desired turnaround time :

Non priority 15 days
Standard 7 days
Priority 4 days

2. The desired precision :

< 2 pMC
< 1 pMC
< 0.5 pMC

3. Number of samples

We kindly ask you to prepare the sample to be sent to us respecting the following points:

1. Be sure to send us at least 7 mg of carbon :

Example 1: Cotton contains about 45% carbon:
P_sample [mg] = 7[mg] / 0.45 = 15.5 mg
If you send us at least 20 mg of cotton we will be sure to have the necessary amount of carbon to make the measurement.
Example 2: For a diesel fuel, the carbon content is about 87%, density of diesel is about 737 kg/m³:
V_sample [ml] = 7[mg ] / (0.87 * 737 [kg/m³] ) = 0.0109 [ml]
if you send us a diesel in a 1ml sample vials we will have sufficient carbon quantity for the measurement.

2. Send us as homogeneous and clean samples as possible:

Materials with strong inhomogeneities can produce results that do not reflect the full nature of the product.

3. Use the following containers for samples:

Sample Vials for liquids
Ziploc bags for solids
For biological samples it is necessary to contact the laboratory

Our Solutions for ¹⁴C measurement

Materials

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)

Pharma

The natural ¹⁴C label can be artificially enriched (even by orders of magnitude) to mark drugs and track their metabolic pathways in human clinical trials.

Environment

Emissions from fossil fuels can be tracked and quantified by measuring the ¹⁴C content of CO² in air. The lower the content, the higher the contribution from combustion of fossil sources.
