N2 - The AMS Golden Valley radiocarbon analysis laboratory is equipped with two accelerator mass spectrometers: AMS facility from Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (BINP AMS) and MIni CArbon DAting System (MICADAS-28) from Ionplus AG and two graphitization systems: Automated Graphitization Equipment (AGE-3) from Ionplus AG 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. This work presents a comprehensive description of the BINP AMS facility, with its operation compared with that of MICADAS in the same laboratory. In 2022, the AMS Golden Valley laboratory participated for the first time in the Glasgow International Radiocarbon Inter-comparison (GIRI). The samples were graphitized on the AGE-3 and subsequently measured in both AMS facilities. A comparison of the results of the two series of experiments, namely AGE-3 + MICADAS-28 and AGE-3 + BINP AMS, is given.
