During the autumn of 2004, a new machine for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry was installed at the GeoBiosphere Science Centre. It is a compact machine (ca 6.5 x 4.5 m2) and based on some new technology – ‘Single Stage Accelerator Mass Spectrometry’ (SSAMS). It is used for 14C-dating and for quantification of 14C-labelled substances with applications within radioecology, ecology, medicine and biomedi

During 1965-1998, radiocarbon dating in Lund was performed in a conventional laboratory at the Department of Quaternary Geology using two CO2 proportional counters for detection of 14C disintegrations. Dating limit for the equipment was ca 40000 years BP, and the precision for Holocene samples was ± 50 to 80 years. The dating capacity was ca 140 samples/year and around 4200 radiocarbon datings wer

Samples must be clean with no pieces that can break off and fall down into the microscope vacuum system or fly around in the sample chamber. It is also important that the samples are free of oil and grease. If the microscope is to be used in high vacuum, the sample must be conductive. If the sample itself is not conductive, it must be subjected to a conductive layer. Both coal and gold coating ins

The analyses - ways to information about pottery The laboratory for Ceramic Research (KFL) at Lund University has, since the beginning of the seventies, worked with all kinds of ceramic objects from prehistoric and historic contexts not only from Scandinavian countries, but from several other parts of Europe, Africa and South America as well. Fundamental to the work at KFL is the description of pr

The samples are placed in big tubs in which exchange of acid and buffer are computer monitored. For smaller samples (< 2 kg each) we use regular 10 litre buckets (left). Once digested we use equipment to get rid of clay particles (right). Depending on the nature of the sample residue it is separated magnetically or by means of density (applying sodium polytungstate). The resulting sample residues

The cost per sample varies considerably depending on sample size, lithology and necessary further treatment of the residues. Please contact us for an estimate.The sample residues will be delivered in dry state and sub-divided into different fractions, normally one light and one heavy fraction (the latter of which contains phosphatic fossils). As a rule our finest sieve is 63 um. If you would like

The term exchange student implies that your home university has a formal agreement to exchange students with Lund University. The agreement can be general/central and open to all the university's students or limited to a specific department or faculty. In either case you must first apply for the exchange at your home university; either through your central International Office or through an intern
