PRIMORSKY CENTRE FOR LOCAL ELEMENTAL AND ISOTOPIC ANALYSES OF FEGI FEB RAS: EXPERIENCE OF THE FUNCTIONING AND MAIN AREAS OF RESEARCH

Abstract

The Shared Research Facilities "Primorsky Centre for Local Elemental and Isotopic Analyses" was created based on the instrumental base of the Far Eastern Geological Institute of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The Shared Research Facilities conducts its own (for the needs of FEGI FEB RAS) fundamental and applied scientific research to establish the elemental, isotopic composition and structure of both natural and artificial objects, as well as jointly with other scientific Russian and foreign institutions and universities, industrial enterprises, state and private companies that require modern, precision methods for analyzing various substances and materials, diagnosing and monitoring the condition and changes in the environment.
