Analysis of trace concentrations of contaminants in food, water and biota is essential for proper environmental and human health protection, and the ability to analyse different isotopes of nutrients will improve our capability to develop techniques to fortify foods with essential micronutrients. The instrumentation will also assist our understanding of the geological processes, climate and environmental change and the formation and location of mineral deposits having economic potential in Australia. By improving forensic identification techniques, the instrumentation will allow identification and tracking of environmental contamination of the food chain and water supplies, and to identify and track criminal and terrorist activity.

分析食物、水和生物群中的微量污染物浓度对于适当的环境和人类健康保护至关重要，而分析不同营养素同位素的能力将提高我们开发使用必要微量营养素强化食品的技术的能力。该仪器还将有助于我们了解澳大利亚的地质过程、气候和环境变化以及具有经济潜力的矿藏的形成和位置。通过改进法医鉴定技术，该仪器将能够识别和跟踪食物链和供水的环境污染，并识别和跟踪犯罪和恐怖活动。
