NEPTUNE – For the precise analysis of elements that are difficult to ionize thermally. In addition to its application to Hf, Th, W, Mo, Li, and Ni, it can be used to measure very small isotope ratios.: ²³⁴U/²³⁸U, and ²³⁰Th/²³²Th.

X-ray fluorescence analysis allows for the rapid determination of the major and trace elements in a rock. Industrial and cement samples can also be analyzed.
X-ray diffraction (XRD) provides information about the crystalline structure of a sample: its minerals (qualitatively and quantitatively), as well as their lattice arrangement and crystallinity.
