The Stable Isotope facility implements most classic H, N, C, O, and S isotopic measurement techniques, allowing the elemental and isotopic analyses of mineral, organic, and fluid samples. The Stable Isotope facility is on the second floor of the CRPG. At the local level, this facility is part of the ANATELo (OSU OTELo) and ICÉEL (Institut Carnot) networks; at the national and European level, it is part of the RéGEF network (INSU) and the SGRIF facility of the Europlanet network.

This facility is accessible to all CRPG researchers and annually welcomes tens of users through internships, theses, or external collaborations. We also perform analyses for our academic collaborators or private partners; do not hesitate to contact us for more information.
