Trace Elements

  • Trace Elements
  • Projects

Our plasma lab is equipped with an ICP-OES and two ICP-MS. We can provide elemental analysis for most of the elements in the periodic table including REE, PGE and Actinides. We do Pb isotopic composition for environmental studies and we can apply isotopic dilution technics for complex matrices and/or preconcentration.  

We collaborate with a broad field of researchers from universities in the UK or abroad, working in environmental chemistry, geology, organic chemistry, biology, medical or archaeology. 

We are also open for commercial works.
