Ever wonder what happens to samples before they’re analyzed?
At NOSAMS, organic carbon samples are carefully pre-treated using either acid-base-acid (ABA) methods or acid leaching to ensure accurate results. For select samples, we use our automated OCtoPuS — the Organic Carbon Pretreatment System.
Curious to see how it works? Watch OCtoPuS in action in this short video.

Sue Handwork, Al Gagnon retiring
After a combined 83 years of service, NOSAMS administrator Sue Handwork and prep lab manager Al Gagnon are concluding their distinguished careers at NOSAMS. Al retired earlier this year, and Sue will soon follow. Over the years, many of you have shared how Al and Sue have shaped your experiences at NOSAMS, whether guiding you through the art of flame sealing or helping you navigate complex university payment systems.
Please join us in congratulating Sue and Al as they embark on their next chapters.

NOSAMS leading 14C-DIC interlaboratory comparison
Internationally recognized standard material does not exist for the 14C analysis of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), creating challenges for laboratories seeking to carry out this analysis. NOSAMS is leading an effort to carry out the first 14C-DIC interlaboratory comparison. The exercise will include surface and deep (2200 m) seawater collected from Station ALOHA located in the North Pacific subtropical gyre. Depending on availability, we will also distribute radiocarbon depleted groundwater.
If you would like to participate in the intercomparison please let us know here.
Call for Applications: NOSAMS Postdoctoral Scholar
We invite applications from innovative and driven researchers to carry out radiocarbon research at the NOSAMS facility. We seek an outstanding individual to pursue work in one or both of the following areas: (i) radiocarbon in oceanic systems (ii) advances in accelerator mass spectrometry and related techniques. Applicants can carry out research with any WHOI scientific staff member on their research interests. Applications are due December 1, 2025. More information can be found here.

Happy Holidays from NOSAMS
The past six months have been very busy at the NOSAMS facility. In September we hosted a MICADAS workshop that brought together 42 people from 18 international institutions at WHOI, plus an additional 38 online participants.
Mark Roberts has recently retired after 22+ productive years as Staff Physicist with the facility. We are happy to report he will maintain an Emeritus role at NOSAMS.
Last week we hosted an Introduction to Radiocarbon workshop in Washington, D.C. prior to the AGU Fall Meeting. Attendees had the opportunity to practice sampling and discuss issues ranging from preventing contamination to nomenclature.
Our fees will be increasing effective April 2025. The new fee chart can be found on our website.
