Sample handling and submission

Radiocarbon dating and stable isotopes by the Centre for Isotope Research (CIO)

Instructions for sample handling and submission forms can be downloaded from this site. The submission form is necessary for administrative purposes. We prefer to have your submission in an Excel (xlt) format. If you cannot handle the Excel form, please contact our secretariat.

The sample form can be mailed to cio rug.nl.

Samples can be submitted to:

Centre for Isotope Research, University of Groningen, Nijenborgh 6, 9747 AG Groningen, the Netherlands.

Please include a hard copy of your project information with your samples.

Sample handling instructions	Submission forms
AMS ¹⁴C dating	¹⁴C samples (not water)
Natural water samples ¹³C, ¹⁴C	Water samples 14C and stable isotopes
Natural water samples ²H, ¹⁸O	Water samples 14C and stable isotopes
Carbonate samples ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁸O	14C samples
Biomedical	Biomedical samples

For ¹⁴C dating, the forms are designed for archaeological/geological use following past international conventions and have an important archive function. For other applications the archaeological/geological questions are not always relevant and can be ignored.
