McLennan Physical Laboratories

The IsoTrace (ISOTope and Rare Atom Counting Equipment) Laboratory is a multi-disciplinary centre, established at the University of Toronto, for research in the ultra-high sensitivity analysis of materials using Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS), and for the development of new apparatus and procedures for use in this field.

As a national facility, IsoTrace makes the results of this research and development available as analytical services to a wide range of academic, government, industrial and commercial researchers, in fields such as archaeology, biology, chemistry, earth and environmental science, materials analysis, medicine and physics.

With the funding of the new Canadian Centre for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry at the University of Ottawa by the Canada Foundation for Innovation, IsoTrace is now operated by the University of Ottawa in collaboration with the University of Toronto. As the design and development of the new facility proceeds, we will be updating this site on a regular basis.
