The project aims to integrate a multicollector mass spectrometer with the existing laser ablation laboratory at Southern Cross University to establish a unique facility offering tandem trace element and isotopes analysis. This will provide new methodological advancement by expanding the analytical range and obtaining information otherwise inaccessible to stand-alone instruments using traditional standardisation methods. Specifically, the integration of an innovative split stream system allows precise matching of elemental concentration with isotopic ratios, crucial for microscale resolution and data accuracy. The new infrastructure will confirm Australia’s leadership role and maintain its competitive advantage in geosciences.

该项目旨在将多接收器质谱仪与南十字星大学现有的激光烧蚀实验室集成，建立一个提供串联痕量元素和同位素分析的独特设施。这将通过扩大分析范围并获取使用传统标准化方法的独立仪器无法获得的信息来提供新的方法论进步。具体来说，创新分流系统的集成可以实现元素浓度与同位素比率的精确匹配，这对于微尺度分辨率和数据准确性至关重要。新的基础设施将确认澳大利亚的领导地位并保持其在地球科学领域的竞争优势。
