Capabilities

METAL can assist with:

  • sample preparation (microwave digestion, multi-acid digestion, ball milling, microbalance weighing, centrifuging).
  • elemental and ionic quantitation.
  • greenhouse gas analysis.
  • physical property measurement.
  • carbon and nitrogen analysis (solutions).
  • CH4 & CO2 carbon isotope analysis.
  • concentration of trace metals, REE, some major elements in a wide variety of sample types and over a large dynamic range by ICP-OES or ICP-MS.
  • high-precision radiogenic and mass-dependent isotope ratio analyses of much of the periodic table by MC-ICP-MS.
  • measurement of isotope ratios (mainly C, N, O, and H) by IRMS.

 

Popular applications

  • water and aqueous solution/suspension analysis.
  • soil and sediment analysis.
  • tissue (plant, animal, microbe) and organic matter analysis.
  • synthetic material and compound analysis.
  • atmospheric composition, nitrogen fixation.
  • surface area and porosity analysis.
  • isotope ratios in natural and synthetic materials.
