Isotope Science

Problem-solving for authentication studies and environmental monitoring.
GNS Science is using naturally occurring isotopes, elemental analyses and biological remnants as environmental tracers for innovative approaches to scientific problem-solving.
Analytical verification methods and supporting datasets are being developed and used to prove product authenticity and origin, support consumer confidence and aid in the sourcing of items.
