SPIDE2R will be a new generation mass spectrometer for very precise and sensitive dating and forensics applications in earth and planetary sciences, hydrology, climate studies, and nuclear and archaeological fingerprinting. The unprecedented sensitivity of this unique instrument will provide enhanced capabilities for solving long-standing problems requiring precise geological time resolution, as well as opening new areas of research. It will be the instrument of choice for analysing small, rare samples such as those returned by space missions. The Australian-built high sensitivity source and ion detection systems can be retrofitted onto other mass spectrometers, opening a new area of commercialisation.

spid2r将是新一代质谱仪，用于地球和行星科学、水文学、气候研究、核和考古指纹鉴定等领域的非常精确和敏感的测年和取证应用。这种独特仪器的空前灵敏度将为解决需要精确地质时间测定的长期问题提供增强的能力，并开辟新的研究领域。它将成为分析小型稀有样本的首选仪器，比如那些由太空任务返回的样本。澳大利亚建造的高灵敏度源和离子检测系统可以改装到其他质谱仪上，开辟了一个新的商业化领域。
