Abstract

The new lab facility at the Ge ological Institute of the Bu lgarian Academy of Sciences was set up in the end of 2009. The main equipment consist a state of the art PerkinElmer ELAN DRC-e ICP-MS and New Wave Research UP-193FX excimer laser ablation system. Combined together, it is a precise instrument for geochemical research and geochronology. One of the leading research topics is quantitative determination of trace and ultra trace elements in rocks together w ith their age dating clar ification. We report our first results obtained with the new equipment to unravel the great opportunities for usage in the field of the geological science. Our main efforts till now are in the field of research directed to metamor phites including trace elements determination of bulk rock samples from different rock types в€’ metagranites, metape gmatites, metapelites, orthoschists, and metabasites and in situ U-Pb age dating of zircons.
