ICP-MS
...means inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. We use a ThermoFinnigan Element2 for the quantitative analysis of trace and ultratrace elements and isotope ratios in geological and non-geological samples. Most elements of the periodic system can be analyzed.
LA-ICP-MS
...means laser-ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. We use a New Wave UP193 for the quantitative analysis of various types of solid samples.
Electron probe microanalysis
Electron beam microanalysis is a non-destructive method for analyzing element concentrations in geological and other samples with high spatial resolution.
X-ray µ-CT
...means X-ray 3D microtomography. We use a ProCon CT-ALPHA X-rays to inspect the three dimensional distribution of matter inside the object of investigation.
REM & EDX
...means Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy.
Dickson-type reactor
A Dickson-type reactor is an experimental setup that can be used to simulate various processes that occur in hydrothermal systems under laboratory conditions. The focus of the investigations are systems that gradually evolve from an initial disequilibrium towards a (metastable) equilibrium.
X-Ray transparent flow-through reactor
Flow-through reactors refer to an experimental setup that allows for the simulation of flow-dependent water-rock interaction processes under laboratory conditions. The focus of experimental studies lies on the feedback relations between porosity, permeability, pore space geometry and fluid flow rates in the context of dissolution and precipitation reactions.
