Supply of an Inductively Coupled Plasma - Optical Emission Spectrometer

The ICP-OES will be purchased to aid chemical analyses in conjunction with the NERC funded project JET - “Integrated Understanding of the Early Jurassic Earth System and Timescale”. Analyses will be performed on fossil shell materials and rocks to evaluate palaeoenvironmental parameters recorded in these geomaterials. Fossil materials that will be analysed in conjunction with the JET project comprise calcite. For the understanding of the preservation of these shell materials and the palaeoenvironmental informat...
