False negative is a condition when you got a negative result for a specimen which was positive. To prevent false negative occur, first you need to use golden standard test or a test with high specificity. You can do multiple tests to ensure the specimen is negative and using a positive control to make sure the reagent is still working fine.

Which radioisotope is used to determine the age of once-living organisms?

MrRa [10]

Carbon-14 is the radioisotope that is used to determine the age of once-living organisms. Radioactive dating is a technique of comparing the abundance ratio of a radioactive isotope to a reference isotope to determine the age of a material. The mostly used radioisotope is carbon-14, because may rocks and organisms contain this radioisotope.
