The AMS Golden Valley radiocarbon analysis laboratory is equipped with two accelerator mass spectrometers: BINP (Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics) AMS facility and MICADAS-28, and two graphitization systems: AGE-3 and Absorption-catalytic setup, developed in Boreskov Institute of Catalysis (ACS BIC). The laboratory provides routine ¹⁴C analyses of various samples: collagen, cellulose, humic acids, carbonates from sediments etc. The main focus of the laboratory is to determine the age of archaeological artifacts by radiocarbon dating.

Detailed description and characteristics of BINP AMS facility will be presented compared with that one’s of  MICADAS. In 2022 the AMS Golden Valley laboratory took part in the Glasgow International Radiocarbon Inter-comparison (GIRI). The samples were graphitized on the AGE-3 (4 targets from each sample, 8 targets from bone sample K) and subsequently measured on both AMS facilities. A comparison of the results from two series of experiments: AGE-3 + MICADAS-28 and AGE-3 + BINP AMS will be given.
