Instruments & Equipment
The ESRL operates the following instruments and equipment. The links below give details of instrument capabilities and sample requirements. Users are responsible for determining the appropriate analytical techniques for their project and ensuring that their samples are suitable for analysis before applying for facility access.
Analytical instruments
Zetium WD-XRF
High precision, low detection limit analysis of major and trace elements in geological materials. More sample preparation and lower throughput than ED-XRF.
Rigaku ED-XRF
Non-destructive bulk analysis of major and trace elements. Limited preparation and high sample throughput. Higher detection limits and lower precision than WD-XRF.
AMA254 Mercury Analyser
High-precision destructive analysis of bulk Hg concentrations.
Multi Elemental Analyser 4000
Destructive analysis of bulk total carbon (TC), total inorganic carbon (TIC), total organic carbon (TOC) and total sulphur concentrations
