Rosenheim Group

Facilities

We are excited to bring new techniques and facilities to the USF Paleolab!

For almost 20 years, USF’s Paleolab has provided the community with high quality scientific results. Below is a list of techniques and facilities that the Rosenheim group adds to this established unit.

Isoprime Dual Inlet Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer
