The fundamental goal of a scientific researcher is to become a foremost authority in his field. This is accomplished by having access to the best available technology, which is capable of delivering accurate data, both efficiently and dependably. Since new scientific data is untested, it must be reproducible and trustworthy. Beta Analytic's mission is to give researchers access to such technology. Understanding and satisfying this need has resulted in a growing client list of over 5000 scientists from more than 30 countries around the world.
Today, Beta Analytic is the world's largest radiocarbon dating laboratory. Our devotion to accuracy, dependability, and confidentiality is the foundation upon which our colleagues' faith and trust is built. This trust is the motivating force behind our consistent efforts to provide quality scientific data. Our devotion to accuracy and dependability has led to a world renowned reputation, one we hold as our most precious possession.
Control BETA is unequalled in its commitment to the quality of the results reported to our clients and colleagues. Our "Experience Factor" with over 120,000 analyses performed is unmatched in the field of radiocarbon dating. All accepted international conventions for radiocarbon dating are carefully followed and the modern reference standard used is the NBS Oxalic Acid Carbon-14 Standard. BETA is the only professional radiocarbon dating service laboratory QA/QC certified by both the USGS and DOE agencies. Additionally, extensive routine inter-calibrations and participation in ongoing International Radiocarbon lnter-calibrations such as IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) and TIRI (Third International Radiocarbon Inter-calibrations) assures reliable, accurate and precise results. Monitoring of instrumentation and chemical purity is performed in addition to extensive computer cross-checks of statistical analyses and final age calculations. (*Results of International Radiocarbon Inter-calibrations and QA/QC documents are available upon request.)
