Geochemistry Technical Platform groups together UMR’s geochemical preparation, separation and analysis equipment.
Each component is under direct responsibility of a scientific referent and a technical manager. This platform offers a wide range of micro-analytical techniques. These facilities are open to all UMR’s scientific projects, depending on their specific thematic focus and under responsibility of scientific referents.

La spectrométrie de masse dédiée aux gaz rares est l’élément analytique de base pour le développement de la géochronologie et de la thermochronologie en domaine magmatique et métamorphique par les méthodes 40Ar/39Ar, U-Th/He sur apatite ou zircon. Ces éléments sont notamment essentiels à l’étude de la déformation intracontinentale.
ISOTOP-MTP Geochemistry
—
Managers : Bruno Dhuime et Delphine Bosch
ISOTOP-MTP Geochemistry platform comprises an MC-ICP-MS mass spectrometry room dedicated to isotope analysis (ERC MILESTONE project), and a clean room for chemical separation of elements prior to analysis.

Technical manager : Céline Martin
Scientific manager : Marguerite Godard
Les salles blanches du laboratoire sont l’outil pour les domaines nécessitant un environnement de manipulations extrêmement propre, tels que le traçage géochimique, la géochimie isotopique ou la géochronologie.
Nuclear spectrometry
—
Manager : Michel Condomines
Nuclear spectrometry is dedicated to Quaternary Geochronology and Environmental Geochemistry, using natural radionuclides in U and Th chains (radioactive imbalances) or artificial radionuclides (137Cs).
