Sensitive High-Resolution Ion Microprobe (model: SHRIMP-IIe/ MC) was installed at the Ochang center of KBSI in 2008 and it is mainly applied for the analysis of uranium-lead isotope age dating of heavy minerals. SHRIMP, which can measure the isotope ratio for micro-areas of surface in solid materials, has been operated for researches on various fields of environmental, geologic, and planetary sciences.

The first High-Resolution Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometer in the Republic of Korea, manufactured by Australian Scientific Instruments(ASI), Model: SHRIMP lle/MC

Korea Basic Science Institute is one of national user-facility center and it has a policy for use and share of each instrument, which means all outside users need to cover a certain portion of the total maintenance cost. Then, there are several kind of fee schedules (see below links). Also we have a global scientist invitation program. too.

During 24 hours, 70 spot analysis for U-Pb dating are available, which is for 2 to 3 crystalline rocks or one detrital specimen.
