激光烧蚀-电感耦合等离子体质谱（LA-ICPMS）是一种快速发展的技术，可以在地质材料中进行许多不同类型的原位微分析。最常用的方法之一是锆石等副矿物的U-Pb同位素定年。这些分析可以在十分之一微米的尺度上进行，以快速，具有成本效益的方式进行，并且具有非常好的精度和准确度。然而，关键是要以快速、透明和可定制的方式进行数据简化，同时考虑到各实验室采用的具体分析程序和不同仪器的输出。UPb.age是一个免费的数据简化脚本，用R语言编写和开发，R是一个免费的统计环境。该软件可以读取、校正和处理多台LA-ICMPS仪器的U-Pb同位素数据。它的主要优势是透明度，稳健性，速度，以及易于定制和适应不同实验室使用的特定分析程序的能力。
Laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) is a rapidly growing technique that allows many different types of in-situ microanalyses to be performed in geological materials. One of the most used methodologies is U-Pb isotopic dating of accessory minerals such as zircon. These analyses can be performed at the scale of tenths of micrometers, in a rapid, cost-effective way and with very good precision and accuracy. It is critical, however, to perform the data reduction in a fast, transparent and customizable way that takes into account the specific analytical procedures employed in various laboratories and the outputs of different instruments. UPb.age is a freely available data reduction script, written and developed in R, a free statistical environment. The software can read, correct and reduce U-Pb isotopic data obtained by several LA-ICMPS instruments. Its main strengths are transparency, robustness, speed, and the ability to be readily customized and adapted to specific analytical procedures used in different laboratories.
