INStrumentation:
Perkin Elmer NeXION 300x ICP-MS:
Inductively Coupled Plasma--Mass Spectrometry allows the measurement of metal concentrations from the aqueous phase at ppb to ppt concentrations. Collision cell technology allows for the removal of common polyatomic interferences.

Dionex ICS-2000 Ion Chromatograph:
Ion chromatography allows automated the measurement of major anionic species in natural waters generally to the ppm level from a single sample.

Canberra Gamma Spectrometers:
We primarily use our two broad energy germanium (BeGe) detectors for measuring Cs-137 and Pb-210 concentrations to date sediment material. However, these instruments are able to measure the concentration of any gamma decaying radio isotope.
