World-Class Analytical Laboratories

The Institute of Geophysical and Geochemical Exploration is equipped with various instruments and associated analytical methods capable of accurately testing the elemental content of all elements in the periodic table, excluding the noble gases, along with national-level geochemical reference materials.

The laboratory spans an area of 2445 m², with nearly 1200 m² dedicated to temperature-controlled environments. Major analytical instruments include: Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS), Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES), X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer (XRF), Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (AAS), Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometer (AFS), Ion Chromatograph (IC), Gas Chromatograph (GC), UV-Visible Spectrophotometer (UV-Vis), Grating Spectrometer, Ion Meter, etc. These instruments can accurately measure over 300 parameters in natural materials such as ores, rocks, soils, aquatic sediments, water, plants, and biological samples. The laboratory has passed national metrology certification, national laboratory accreditation, and ISO 9001 certification. It holds a Grade A qualification for geological testing and has the capability to conduct multi-objective regional geochemical sample testing.

The laboratory has developed 39 elemental analysis systems for the nationwide regional geophysical exploration program, 54 elemental analysis systems for national multi-objective geochemical surveys, and 76 elemental analysis systems for national geochemical baseline value research.
