A new generation accelerator mass spectrometer has been installed at the Centre for Isotope Research in Groningen, The Netherlands. It is a dedicated 14C machine, with a capacity of measuring 3000 samples per year with high precision (< 0.5%). The system has been in full operation since the summer of 1994. We present here a short summary of the results and performance obtained thus far.
