Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) Radiocarbon Dating MS005700
AMS

For the latest fees, please consult the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) instrument database and search for “Main Instrument” using instrument code MS005700.


Fees vary by disciplinary category. The laboratory determines the applicable fee category based on the sample type and origin.


If a client requests analysis despite being informed that the sample contains insufficient carbon, either half or the full fee may be charged, depending on the extent of the laboratory work performed.



Turnaround Time

Approximately 3-4 weeks. Turnaround times will be extended during instrument breakdowns or maintenance.



Important Notes

1. The laboratory provides age determinations only. It does not issue certificates for judicial proceedings, legal disputes, or disputes concerning the nature or properties of an object.


2. Samples artificially labeled with radioactive isotopes are not accepted. This restriction is necessary to maintain the accuracy of age determinations for natural samples.


3. All age data provided by the laboratory must carry a laboratory sample identification number. Publications using these data must include the corresponding sample number in the format NTUAMS-XXX. The laboratory can assist with interpreting the age data. Although it cannot control how users apply the data, it reserves the right to provide its own interpretation.


4. Once sample analysis has proceeded successfully, the laboratory will notify the client to arrange payment. The analytical report will be released only after payment has been received.



收費標準

最新收費標準至國科會查詢「主項儀器」:MS005700

依使用學門分別(樣品類別的定性,由本實驗室決定)

若樣品已告之委託者含碳量不足以分析,但委託者仍堅持要測定,視實驗程度酌收半價或全額。
(由本實驗室根據樣品來源判斷,該樣品收費的採用類別)



回件時間

3~4周左右(儀器故障和維護期間時間順延)



注意事項

(1)對樣品只提供年齡鑒定,不提供任何涉及司法訴訟、法律糾紛以任何物件屬性爭議的證明。
(2)不接受人工放射性標定的樣品,這是保障本儀器測量天然樣品年齡準確的前提。
(3)所有本實驗室提供的年齡數據需具有本實驗室的編號,發表文章時必須註明本實驗室樣品編號,即NTUAMS-XXX。本實驗室可以提供年齡數據的解釋,但使用者如何使用年齡數據,本實驗室無法干涉,但本實驗室保留自己對年齡數據解釋的權利。
(4)當樣品進行順利時,本實驗室會通知使用者付費,只有在收到付費之後,本實驗室才會提供數據報告
