Analysis of 14 C modern in coral aims to determine the activity of 14 C modern of marine organism. Samples of living coral Porites lobata was taken from inner zone and middle inner zone, Spermonde Archipelago, Indonesia. This research used Liquid Scintillation Counting method. This method used three steps for sample preparation. The first step are physical and chemical washing. In this step, 9 % mass of sample has been removed from impurity. Second steps, CO2 Absorption. The sample entered in modificated absorption equipment and 14 CO2 captured with KOH solution. The last steps, 8 mL sample solution mixed with 12 mL scintillator and measured used LSC Hidex 300SL at counting times 5-240 minutes. The activity of 14 C modern in coral Porites lobata shown the differences activity between marine organism and land organism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
