It significant speeds up ⏳and removes complicationsπŸ”‹ associated with Ag πŸ₯ˆisotope analysis in Au πŸ₯‡ nuggets. Alison graduated πŸŽ“ back in 22 and has long forgotten about academia, but this is a great piece 🧩 of work that definitely deserves to be shouted about πŸ“’πŸ“’πŸ“’.

The real star ⭐ of this work was @MonashEAE @MIsotopia PhD Alison Davis (not here), who preserved through the unfavorable properties of silver πŸ₯ˆ and complications added from a two isotope system to develop this awesome method.

Haven't posted on here for ages βŒ›as a bit of a protestπŸͺ§ But over the last year there has been some awesome stuff 😎 happening in the lab πŸ§ͺ @GeoChemTropics. The great students and collaborators working with me have made some awesome findings that are worth shouting about πŸ“’πŸ”Š.

On the flip side. Completed πŸ’― a full instrument mass calibration and the #Neptune MC-ICP-MS is currently collecting Nd isotope data. πŸ‘ŒπŸ’₯πŸŽ‰.

Sometimes the Gods of #MassSpectrometry just decide to throw extra hurdles in your way. 1 melted torch = another small pile of πŸ’° that needs to be sourced from the ether. #melted #plasma @GeoChemTropics

Column carousels in action. πŸŽ–οΈπŸŽ‰ From 2019. These racks are great because they rotate to minimise contamination risk from reaching over. They also have a small footprint and are easily moveable while dripping to maximise fumehood space. @GeoChemTropics @HelenWCam @CELTIC_lab

Definitely a new personal record πŸ₯‡ for the number of ion exchange columns processed in a single day. Busy time on the #Neptune next week 🀞 #howmanyistoomany ?? Bonus points if you can name the what type of chemistry this is??? πŸ€” @GeoChemTropics @JCUGeoscience
