This project aims at establishing a facility for the detection, quantification and rapid mapping of elements and their isotopes in nanoparticles and a diverse set of biological and earth materials. The facility consists of a latest generation ICP-ToF-MS that can simultaneously collect a full suite of isotopic information (Li to U) from liquid samples or, in combination with laser ablation and laser induced breakdown spectroscopy, solid samples. It will enhance capabilities and sample throughput in environmental science, geoscience, biology and cultural heritage research, significantly accelerating the discovery of new ore bodies, improving environmental risk assessment and assisting research in cancer biology.

该项目旨在建立一个设施，对纳米粒子和各种生物和地球材料中的元素及其同位素进行检测、定量和快速测绘。该设备由最新一代ICP-ToF-MS组成，可以同时从液体样品中收集全套同位素信息（Li to U），或者结合激光烧蚀和激光诱导击穿光谱，从固体样品中收集。它将提高环境科学、地球科学、生物学和文化遗产研究的能力和样品吞吐量，显著加快新矿体的发现，改进环境风险评估，并协助癌症生物学的研究。
