Beta Analytic, as a carbon dating lab, revolutionized the fields of archaeology and late quaternary geology. Prior to the company's inception in 1979, radiocarbon dates were scarce and available only through small university laboratories. It took months and sometimes years to obtain carbon dating results.

Beta Analytic’s commitment to meet the scientific community’s demand for accurate carbon dating analysis led to immediate success. Supply created demand, and the task became one of meeting that demand for high-quality carbon 14 dating services. Today Beta Analytic provides AMS radiocarbon dates to more than 9,500 scientists around the world. Those radiocarbon dates have largely defined the chronological history of prehistoric man and earth.

The company’s success comes from recognizing a scientific need then employing a management philosophy to satisfy that need. Dedication to accuracy is at the core of its policies. By innovating new techniques, keeping abreast of the latest technology, and training qualified scientists to stay ahead of demand, Beta Analytic has maintained its firm commitment to quality over the years.
