High mass resolution multi-collector ICP mass spectrometer for high precision metal stable isotope analysis. Unique that it combines the collision cell technology with a large radius geometry. Installed in January 2020, operational since May 2020. Its name is Grace.

There are two Neptune plus MC-ICP-MS in the school of Earth Science and Engineering that are accessible to the lab members.

A class 1000 clean room with five class 100 hoods.

For conducting general chemistry experiments and sample preparation

Fast determination of elemental concentration in aqueous solutions for most metals.

Mo and Cu rotating anode dual source. Capable to do micro-XRD for small samples and in situ XRD analysis on geological samples. Equipped with a heating stage with a temperature range of 50-400ºC. Capable to do time-resolved observation of reactions.

BSE imaging of samples without carbon or gold coating. Equipped with a Edax EDS.

For petrographic observation of thin sections of geological samples

Performs quantitative point analysis for elements heavier than Na and elemental mapping of geological samples

Micro-sampling of geological samples through high-precision drilling.

For experiments at 20-95 ºC
