The I.V.I.C. laboratory started operation in December, 1963 using liquid scintillation techniques and the benzene method. The syntheses are carried out in a Packard benzene synthesizer and the solutions counted by a Packard automatic tri-carb spectrometer. For routine dating, a 4 cc counting vial is used with 2 cc benzene coming from the sample being dated and 2 cc commercial toluene added with the PPO and POPOP scintillators.
