Terms of use

Due to the complexity of the equipment and the necessary chemical preparation (typically carried out in a class-10 clean lab), the measurements are always carried out or at least supervised by staff from the Atomic and Mass Spectrometry (A&MS) research group of Ghent University.

In the context of scientific collaboration, a cost per measurement day is agreed. In such a context, the A&MS research group develops or refines the method to be used (including chemical preparation, measurement and processing of the raw measurement data). Such collaboration is offered to researchers from Ghent University and other (Belgian and foreign) knowledge institutions. The daily price also depends on, among other things, the analyte element and the difficulty of the analysis.

In addition to scientific collaboration, service measurements are also offered, both to knowledge institutions and to government institutions and companies. For these service measurements, a cost per sample is agreed in accordance with the market price.
