EPMA - Analysis for Suspected Meteorites
Per Sample Fee: $500.00
Per Sample Fee: $500.00
Electron Probe Micro Analysis (EPMA), more commonly known as the Electron Microprobe, is the required analysis technique for all suspected meteorite samples *except for suspected iron meteorites (see XRF service description below for more information).
XRF - Only for Suspected Iron Meteorites
Per Sample Fee: $150.00
X-ray fluorescence is the process LMAC uses for determining specific diagnostic ratios of the elements Fe and Ni in suspected iron meteorite samples. This technique is sufficient for determining if the sample is an iron meteorite but it is not sufficient for quantitative bulk trace element analysis required for determining the exact type of iron meteorite. For final classification and submission to the Nomenclature Committee for approval and publication in the meteoritical Bulletin additional SF ICP MS or INNA analuysis must be performed at one of our affiliate laboratories.
