Samples preparation at GeoreSsources
Summary
The preparation of samples at GeoRessources
Why prepare samples?
Many physical and chemical parameters are obtained from natural or synthetic samples using specific devices. The equipment and techniques used therefore require the sample to be prepared in a particular way. Samples preparation is therefore a preliminary step that enables observations, characterizations, and analyses to be carried out.
The specific features of samples preparation at GeoRessources
The samples prepared are geological samples of gases, liquids, or solids. The techniques used enable crushing, grinding, homogenization, and surfacing. Numerous skills in mineral processing and geochemical characterization can also be leveraged for optimal preparation.
At GeoRessources, samples preparation is mainly carried out using the following technical platforms:
