A dedicated sample processing line for the extraction of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) from seawater and groundwater accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon analysis has been developed at CEDAD, Center Dating Diagnostic University Salento, Lecce, Italy. The features new system are presented together with tests carried out to determine its functionality background levels. first results obtained CEDAD analyzing samples taken Northern Adriatic compare well same analyzed ETH Zurich.
