This proposal seeks support for a shared High Resolution Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry facility for Tasmanian researchers. The existing UTAS instrument is approaching end-of-life and is becoming increasingly unreliable. Access to enhanced capabilities embodied in a rejuvenated facility, along with a renewed lifespan, is essential for continued analysis of ultra-trace elements and isotopes in challenging samples from southern environments. The new instrument will allow TAS researchers and their (inter)national collaborators to undertake world-leading research, enhancing competitive profiles in a diverse range of research areas (oceanography, analytical chemistry, Antarctic studies, environmental assessment, geochemistry).

该提案寻求为塔斯马尼亚研究人员共享高分辨率感应耦合等离子体质谱设施提供支持。现有的 UTAS 仪器即将报废，并且变得越来越不可靠。获得焕然一新的设施所体现的增强功能以​​及更新的使用寿命对于持续分析来自南方环境的挑战性样品中的超痕量元素和同位素至关重要。新仪器将使 TAS 研究人员及其（国际）国家合作者能够开展世界领先的研究，从而增强在各个研究领域（海洋学、分析化学、南极研究、环境评估、地球化学）的竞争力。
