Lithogeochemistry

LITHOGEOCHEMICAL METHODS EMPLOY FUSION TECHNIQUES TO COMPLETELY DIGEST MOST REFRACTORY MATRICES. THESE METHODS ACCOUNT FOR STRUCTURAL WATER AND ARE THE ONLY MULTI- ELEMENT METHODS THAT PROVIDE QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATIONS FOR SILICA
 

The determinations from these methods are the most suitable for constructing rock classification diagrams, molar element ratios and alteration indicies. Determination by ICP-ES, ICP-MS, XRF, IR Combustion and laser ablation options are available to suit almost all elements, concentration ranges, and professional preferences.
 

Complete whole rock characterization packages combine whole rock analysis by ICP-MS and OES, total carbon and sulfur by combustion and geochemistry packages for volatile and other pathfinder elements. 
 

Laser Ablation ICP-MS analysis capitalises on our high productivity robotic fusion technology with state of the art laser ablation and ICP-MS instruments to provide a fully extracted quantitative analysis for all elements.
