Chemical analysis
The Museum's analysis centre provides a range of chemical analysis techniques for the study of rocks and minerals, natural waters, biological, synthetic and environmental samples.
-
Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) techniques
Find out about ICP-AES and ICP-MS and their applications. Each technique uses inductively coupled plasma to ionise samples but the subsequent analysis differs.
-
Ion chromatography
Determination of ions is performed using conductivity, UV-visible or electrochemical detectors. Learn about this method and its applications.
-
CHN elemental analysis
Find out about CHN elemental analysis, where solids are combusted and the resulting oxides of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen are analysed chromatographically.
