Hello,
I’ll like to know from your experience and perhaps you have the time to share.
What is the best procedure to determine carbon-14 isotope content in food products? Besides the mass spectrometry, are there other innovative / alternative procedures?
Are there any known practical reasons for such investigations?
Can you recommend some Labs? - in Europe or in the USA or…?
Regards,

Carbon-14 can be used as a radioactive tracer in medicine about food applications I am unaware.
i think we can do the analysis by scintillation counter.
also by the method of isolating the isotope and converting it into CO and the CO2 and measuring the CO2 thus produced.
Gireesan Cherianath ,
how would you isolate the isotope carbon14 from the rest ? Producing CO and CO2 that is simple , still perhaps you'll like to mention details on the ISOLATION of isotope then producing CO, CO2. I am a bit confused, please help with details.
Also, how will you determine the isotope with the scintillation counter? Model number, provider, the manufacturer of the counter is and what country? Is this a special counter for Carbon-14?
Thanks
We can do teh C 14 Isotope content in determination in foods samples by using IRMS( Isotope ration mass spectroscopy ) for your inforamation about How Please do the littrature seach for Isotope analysis in Honey samples ( this is the best techniqu for the determination of adulteration of Honey) I hope IRMS will solve your problem
