Tritium and Water Dating Laboratory
Ultra sensitive measurement of tritium for dating of groundwater. Other techniques include CFC, SF6 and 14C.
The GNS Science Tritium and Water Dating Laboratory is a world leader in its field over 45 years of high-sensitivity analytical experience in the dating of groundwater using tritium, CFCs and SF6. We are a part of the GNS Science National Isotope Centre.
Our goal is to provide high-sensitivity analytical methods that can be used to understand and manage groundwater resources, and to understand how groundwater dynamics change over time.
We operate strict quality controls, and our samples are free from contamination during processing because of New Zealand's very low-tritium environment, and strict measures to prevent artificial tritium in the lab.
We welcome collaborative research and the opportunity to assist and contribute to research design.
