Laboratory for Measurements of Low-level Radioactivities (¹⁴C and ³H Laboratory; in Croatian: LNA - Laboratorij za mjerenje niskih radioaktivnosti ) at the Rudjer Bošković Institute, Zagreb, Croatia, is a part of the Division for Experimental Physics of the Institute. The group studies radioactive (¹⁴C, ³H) and stable (²H, ¹³C, ¹⁸O) isotopes in nature and their application in archaeology, geology, hydrology, paleoclimatology, ecology and geochemistry, with the emphasis to the processes in karst regions. Collaborators of the Laboratory are also involved in development of techniques for tritium (³H) and radiocarbon (¹⁴C) measurements. Recently, the Laboratory introduced the chemical technique for graphite preparation of milligram-sized samples to be measured by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS).
