John,
Truly a beautiful thing. Did you say what it's going to be used for and I missed it?

Doug
exclusively used for C,Be,Al dating
so for carbon dating it does the ratios of C12, C13, C14, for Be it is ratio of Be10 to Be11.
By using these for dating depending on age dictates what out of C,Be,Al is used.
Labs elsewhere on site seperate the uranium series by wet chemistry and yet other labs do Tritium dating and yet others do the other stable isotopes by Mass spec.

Ah, totally cool, I'd heard of that usage. Glad to see someone is doing it right!
