ABOUT MIRF
The Manitoba Isotope Research Facility (MIRF) was established in 2014 under the supervision of Drs. Mostafa Fayek and Alfredo Camacho. The Facility is housed in the Department of Geological Sciences and is part of the Centre for Earth Observation Science (CEOS) at the University of Manitoba.
This state-of-the-art Facility has one of four Secondary-Ion Mass Spectrometers (SIMS) in Canada, a diverse Stable Isotope Lab (EA, TC/EA, Gas Bench, GC-C) along with several satellite Geochemistry Labs, a Biogeochemistry Lab, and an Argon-Argon Lab.
The MIRF offers hands-on opportunities for students and visiting scientists, and provides a wide array of analytical services for industry, academic, and government organizations world-wide.
