The Bruker Aurora Elite system was bought in 2014 and offers high sensitivity and matrix robustness in trace element analysis.

We are planning to use the system for high precision REE analyses of small whole rock samples and minerals, and for precise determinations of U, Th and Pb concentrations for geochronological purposes.
