Presentation of the Platform
The GENESIS analytical platform is dedicated to determining the isotopic compositions of Oxygen (δ18O), Carbon (δ13C), Hydrogen (δ2H), Nitrogen (δ15N), and Sulfur (δ34S) in solid and liquid matter. It analytically supports the research activities of the 4PAL, BVP, and Surface and Lithosphere themes. This platform is divided into several dedicated workspaces: sample preparation, wet chemistry, clean chemistry, precision weighing, as well as an analysis room equipped with isotope ratio mass spectrometers (IRMS). The platform’s operations are managed by a research engineer and a technician.
