The Laboratory contains a state of art Laser Induced breakdown spectrometer (LIBS) for determining the elemental or mineralogical composition of materials. This includes some of the harder to determine lighter elements such as Li, Be, B, C, N, O and F. The system has the capability to produce surface and 3-D chemical variation maps of a sample. The LIBS instrument is supplemented with a Bruker portable XRF, Zeiss petrologic microscope with camera and Gas Chromatographs.
