Environmental Isotope Laboratory

滑铁卢大学环境同位素实验室(UW EIL)是一个专门分析天然有机和无机材料中环境同位素丰度的研究机构，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按服务收费的同位素分析，为NSERC资助的研究人员(超过50名研究人员)提供优惠费率。UW EIL拥有12台质谱仪，包括9台最先进的连续流动分析仪(CF-IRMS)，可与元素分析仪(EA)、高温元素分析仪(PYR)、气相色谱-燃烧(GC-C)、TraceGas或改装的Gilson自动取样器进行高精度的氢(2/1)、碳(13/12)、氮(15/14)、氧(18/17/16)、硫(34/32)、氯(37/35)和溴(81/79)的高精度同位素比值分析，以及6个用于氚衰变贝塔计数的液体闪烁计数器。研究所有一名全职管理人员，由地球科学部提供支助，有12名技术人员和2名行政人员，全部由实验室收入支持，还有许多本科生和研究生以及博士后研究员，他们从事各种单独的研究项目。国际原子能机构还积极参与原子能机构同位素水文学研究员的培训。

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.
