The Radiocarbon Laboratory of the Archaeological and Ethnographical Museum in Lódź was established to meet the growing demand for radiocarbon dating of archaeologic and geologic samples. The liquid scintillation technique based on the Polish liquid scintillation counter with a single photomultiplier began operation in 1966. The base for the measurements was ethylbenzene. In 1974 new facilities for the determination of radiocarbon assays were installed. The proportional counter and the electronics supplied by Nuclear Enterprises became routine counting equipment two years later.
