Equipment

Currently, we operate the following facilities:

Radiocarbon dating laboratory with the international code CRL in collaboration with the Institute of Archaeology of CAS, Prague, including Laboratory of Accelerator Mass Spectrometry within the large research infrasctructure CANAM
Low-activity measurement laboratory
Biophysics laboratory
Authorized metrological centre

Our basic equipment is particularly:
