Iridium Anomaly

Becquerel can provide iridium sensitivity to 0.1 ppb for evaluation of iridium anomalies based on pre-concentration by NiS of 40 gram sample and determination by NAA.
 

Partial Package

Intended to provide additional information for samples already run for Au, Pt, and Pd by traditional fire-assay.

Concentrate or ore samples containing percent levels of base metals or elevated precious metals require special handling, please inquire.

 

Complete PGE Analysis

"Becquerel is one of the few commercial laboratories that provides analysis for the complete suite of Platinum Group Elements (PGE). Our procedures can augment lead fire assay results or be used as an independent check on other techniques. "
