Albert Colman's stable isotope
ratio mass spectrometers were setup in 2010 (thanks
Burt and Ian from Thermo, Brian and the rest of the U
of C gang for getting the renovations done, and U of C
and the NSF forfunding), and real samples were being
run in early 2011. Albert Colman is now at Rice,
but the instruments are still here.
This is mainly set up to be a facility for use by the
University of Chicago community, but is available for
other users and limited service runs.
