- Research
In 2013, the College of Science and Engineering (CSE) at JCU built an AS 1386 Class 350 Clean Laboratory (ISO 14644-1 Class 7, or ISO 7 specifications) within the Advanced Analytical Centre (AAC), located on JCU’s Bebegu Yumba campus (Townsville).
- From its inception until 2019, the Clean Laboratory was used as a purpose-built space for whole rock digestion, and to conduct chemistry (namely ion exchange chromatography) mostly for Sr isotope analyses.
- In 2020 the IsoTropics Geochemistry Laboratory was founded, with lab upgrades beginning for the purpose of fully onboarding trace metal and novel stable isotope techniques. These upgrades saw the conversion of the lab space to a higher capacity facility capable of confined ISO 5 conditions (e.g. within chemical workstations) for isotope chemistry and elemental studies at the trace and ultra-trace level.
IsoTropics Geochemistry Laboratory
About IsoTropics
The research portfolio of the IsoTropics Geochemistry Laboratory spans a broad range of capabilities and applications. We currently have several trace metal and isotope geochemistry projects in progress focusing on:
- Radiogenic and novel stable isotope analyses
- Ore exploration undercover
- Environmental source tracing
- Planetary and climatic evolution
- Contamination monitoring
For further details of ongoing research within the Isotropics Geochemistry Laboratory please see the Researchers page for our JCU Research Portfolios or visit the EGRU website.
We offer a wide range of research services for academia and industry based applications. For further details please see:
