Noble
Gas Laboratory
The 40Ar/39Ar dating
facility features a MAP215-50 noble gas mass spectrometer, with two
electron multipliers and one faraday collector. The mass
spectrometer is connected to a custom, automated stainless steel
extraction/purification line with sample heating and gas extraction
accomplished with either a Modifications Ltd. resistance furnace, CO2
IR laser, or pulsed Excimer DUV (193 nm) laser. Our system is
designed for both geochronology and thermochronology.
