Unlock the Secrets of the Past with IRMS

Archaeological research is no longer confined to excavation alone today, stable isotope analysis is revolutionizing how we understand ancient lives, environments, and civilizations. Elementar’s Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) systems offer archaeologists powerful tools to investigate past human behavior, migration patterns, dietary habits, and environmental shifts with unmatched accuracy. As authorized distributors of Elementar, we provide advanced analytical solutions that help researchers uncover the untold stories buried in bones, soil, and artifacts bringing the past into sharper scientific focus.

Why IRMS for Archaeology?

Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) plays a transformative role in archaeological science. By measuring stable isotope ratios (¹³C/¹²C, ¹⁵N/¹⁴N, ¹⁸O/¹⁶O, and others), researchers gain insights into:

  • Ancient diets and food webs
  • Migration patterns and geographic origins
  • Paleoclimate and environmental conditions
  • Burial practices and cultural transitions
  • Crop cultivation and animal domestication
