A major and complete change coming in 2026
We will Acquire a whole new set of instruments which will turn the lab into a completely new body and will require a new location which is currently being negotiated. We will acquire a new TIMS, a new MC-ICP-MS a new high res single collector ICPMS and a new triple quad as well as a new 193 Eximer laser. Additionally, a clean laboratory will be built and we will invest in a few other smaller pieces of equipment like micronill and a couple of polishing tools. This is huge !! and challenging.
