Our newest scientific facility

The Thermo Hub is our newest scientific facility and was jointly sponsored by Thermo Fisher Scientific to establish a world-first technology and analytical strategic partnership to drive scientific research and develop new methodologies.

In particular, development and application of 1013Ω amplifiers. Initial projects have included Pt and Sn isotope constraints on core formation and volatile loss on meteorites, Os isotope constraints on crustal recycling, Ba isotope constraints on subduction zone processes and the composition of Earth’s mantle domains and use of transition metal isotopes in the study of to Alzheimer’s and motor-neuron disease. It also acts as a display facility in the Pacific for Thermo’s newest instruments and isotope research development.

Available analysis includes: Cu, Zn, Mo, Os, Pt, Sn, Ba, V and U-series isotopes.
