Enabling scientific discovery through stable isotope analysis
Facilities
The IsoLab is divided into sample preparation and sample analysis laboratories. Currently we maintain five mass spectrometers and one laser devoted to the analyses of isotopes of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur.
