Geochemical characterization
Summary
Geochemical characterization at GeoRessources
What is geochemical characterization?
Geochemical characterization is the extraction of elemental, molecular, isotopic, or mineralogical information from samples of geological interest. This data is then interpreted in terms of sample nature or geological processes.
The particularities of geochemical characterization at GeoRessources
GeoRessources’ geochemical characterization focuses on developing customized protocols centered on the scientific objectives of the applicants. It is possible for both mineral chemistry and organic chemistry, as well as for the absolute dating of samples. If requested by the applicant, these methods can be combined with those used in experimentations or microscopy and spectroscopy.
