0217128 Chamberlain该补助金用于斯坦福大学地质与环境科学系稳定同位素地球化学实验室的技术支持人员。 补助金包括两年的工资费用。 稳定同位素实验室拥有Finnigan-MAT Delta plus XR和252质谱仪，两者都配置为连续流测量，并具有用于有机物质和矿物的C、H和N同位素分析的在线燃烧装置。 Finnigan-MAT 252还配有紫外和红外激光器以及相关的提取线，用于分析硅酸盐和氧化物矿物中的O同位素。 技术支持人员将负责：1）协助建设激光线; 2）质谱仪的日常支持和维护; 3）培训学生、博士后研究员和教师使用本实验室; 4）样品分析。 ***

0217128ChamberlainThis grant is for a technical support person for the stable isotope geochemistry laboratory in the Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences at Stanford University. The grant covers the costs of salary for two years. The stable isotope laboratory has Finnigan-MAT Delta plus XR and 252 mass spectrometers, and both are configured for continuous flow measurements and have on-line combustion devices for C, H, and N isotope analyses of organic matter and minerals. The Finnigan-MAT 252 also has UV and IR lasers and associated extraction lines for the analysis of O isotopes in silicate and oxide minerals. The technical support person will be responsible for: 1) assisting in construction of laser lines; 2) routine support and maintenance of the mass spectrometers; 3) training of students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty in the use of this laboratory; and 4) analysis of samples. ***
