In January 1975 a radiocarbon dating laboratory was established at the Marine Resources Research Institute for geochemical and geologic studies. A liquid scintillation system is employed according to the method of Noakes, Kim, and Akers (1967). A Searle (Nuclear Chicago) Isocap 300 liquid scintillation counter is currently being used for counting. This system is a duplicate of the one formerly used at Texas A & M University except for the counter (Mathews et al, 1972)
