Objective/function
-
The laboratory is active in the field of qualitative and quantitative compositional analyses of major and minor elements
Research provided
-
Full service analysis: For regular clients who have fairly consistent samples and analyses
-
Partial service analysis: The client participates in the analysis, deciding how it is to be performed. This option is for clients with samples with which they are not familiar as well as for characterization purposes
-
Students perform their own research to learn the operational requirements of the equipment and perform their own analyses
Advantages
-
Non-destructive, high precision major and minor element analysis on micrometer size spots
