This formation aims at improving the notions on diverse mass spectrometers (ICP-MS, IRMS, SIMS, TIMS). Several aspects from the sample introduction to the detection and the data analysis will be covered by specialists in every techniques from IPGP. Students can thus improve their understanding on their field as well as learning from others.
