Metal isotope analysis

MC-ICP-MS measurements of metal isotope ratios, with sample preparation and purification for environmental, geological and provenance studies.

Analytical scope

  • Li, Mg, Fe, Cu, Zn, Sr, Cd, Nd, Hg and Pb isotope ratios
  • Radiogenic isotope systems for provenance and geological research
  • Zircon U-Pb and Rb-Sr geochronology services

Analytical platform

Neptune Plus multi-collector ICP-MS, supported by sample digestion, chemical separation and element purification.

Applications

Metal pollution source tracing, food provenance, geological processes and geochronology. The analytical method and uncertainty depend on the isotope system and sample matrix.
