The University of Waterloo Environmental Isotope Laboratory (UW EIL)is a research facility specializing in the analysis of environmental isotope abundances in natural organic and inorganic materials in support of hydrological, geological and biological research undertaken at the University of Waterloo. The EIL also provides isotope analysis to 360 national and international clients on a fee-for-service basis, with preferred rates for NSERC-funded researchers (over 50 researchers). The UW EIL operates 12 mass spectrometers including nine state-of-the-art continuous flow instruments(CF-IRMS) interfaced variously with elemental analyzers (EA), high temperature elemental analyzers (PYR), gas chromatograph-combustion(GC-C), TraceGas or modified Gilson autosamples for high precision isotope ratio analysis of hydrogen(2/1), carbon(13/12), nitrogen(15/14), Oxygen(18/17/16), sulphur(34/32), chlorine(37/35)and bromine (81/79), plus six liquid scintillation counters for beta-decay counting of tritium. The EIL has a full time manager supported by the Department of Earth Sciences and a staff of 12 technical and two administrative personnel supported entirely by laboratory revenues, as well as numerous undergraduate and graduate students as well as post doctoral fellows engaged in various individual research project. The EIL is also actively involved in training of IAEA Isotope Hydrology Fellows.

滑铁卢大学环境同位素实验室（UW EIL）是一个研究机构，专门分析天然有机和无机材料中的环境同位素丰度，以支持滑铁卢大学进行的水文，地质和生物研究。EIL还为360个国家和国际客户提供同位素分析，收费服务，NSERC资助的研究人员（超过50名研究人员）享有优惠价格。UW EIL运行12台质谱仪，包括9台最先进的连续流动仪器（CF-IRMS），与元素分析仪（EA）、高温元素分析仪（PYR）、气相色谱-燃烧（GC-C）、TraceGas或改进的Gilson自动样品进行不同的接口，用于氢（2/1）、碳（13/12）、氮（15/14）、氧（18/17/16）、硫（34/32）、氯（37/35）和溴（81/79），外加6个用于氚β衰变计数的液体闪烁计数器。EIL有一个由地球科学系支持的全职经理，12名技术人员和两名行政人员完全由实验室收入支持，以及许多本科生和研究生以及从事各种个人研究项目的博士后研究员。环境水文学研究所还积极参与培训原子能机构同位素水文学研究员。
