Analytical Package Metadata

INRS XRF + INAA (high detection limits)

Analytical Package Description

Laboratory: Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS-Géoressources), Sainte-Foy, Quebec

The samples were analysed for 38 trace elements using instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and x-ray fluorescence (XRF). INAA at high detection limits (calculated at the 2σ level) was performed at McMaster University. Analyses by XRF were performed at the Institut national de la recherche scientifique - Géoressources (INRS) in Sainte-Foy, Quebec
