Laboratory for Stable Isotopes
The (LSI) is a unique center of competence for the analysis of light element stable isotopes (H, C, N, O, S, Cl and Br). The LSI offer state-of-the-art instrumentation for stable isotope analytics, hold several methodological patents which are licensed and act as reference laboratory for the IAEA and USGS. Core competencies are on-line bulk and compound-specific isotope analyses (BSIA and CSIA). This includes the respective sample preparation techniques, the development of methods for isotope analytics of gaseous, liquid and solid samples, quality control and management as well as the development and calibration of international reference materials. The expertise of the LSI is reflected by a large variety of process studies and numerous publications.
