What are light stable isotopes?

Sample Analysis

IsoLab is an instrumentation, sample preparation, in-lab ice core processing, and hydrofluoric acid laboratory.

IsoLab is a research lab; our internal projects have priority. While the typical turnaround time is 4-6 weeks, instruments could be exceptionally busy or down. Researchers with time constraints should contact Andrew Schauer. Teaching a field / lab course that includes isotope analyses? Let us know your desired schedule before the course starts.

About IsoLab

IsoLab is a facility specializing in the analysis of light stable isotopes. Our focus has been to use the stable isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur to help elucidate paleo and modern-day environments.

We welcome individuals from all departments and from on or off the University of Washington campus to visit our facility, and to take advantage of our expertise. Please contact Andy for more information about use of our services or the relevant faculty regarding possibilities for collaboration.
