Minerals, Microbes and Solutions Laboratory

This $1.2 million, 110 square-meter facility is a state-of-the art experimental geochemistry laboratory and our main workspace for sample preparation and analysis.

Coy Anaerobic Chamber for experimental work in oxygen-free environments

Centrifuge for mineral-fluid separations

Fume hoods for experimental work with concentrated acids

Ovens and furnaces for mineral synthesis

Monash Isotopia Laboratory

This multi-million dollar facility delivers high precision element and isotopic analyses of a wide range of materials. Equipped with two multi-collector and two quadrupole mass spectrometers, coupled with two laser ablation systems, research in this facility ranges from environmental sciences over high-precision geochronology to the evolution of global reservoirs through time, from the mineral to the planetary scale.
