Abstract Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number. The isotopic analysis has two major applications in environmental and earth sciences. The analysis of non-traditional stable isotopes is concerned with measuring isotopic variations arising from mass-dependent isotopic fractionation in natural systems. The radiogenic isotope analysis involves measuring the abundances of decay-products of natural radioactivity, and is used in radiogenic isotope dating. The measurements of isotopic variations are mainly based on inorganic mass spectrometry. There are various mass spectrometer such as SHRIMP, MC-ICP-MS, IRMS, TIMS and static vacuum mass spectrometer and also, equipped with elemental analysis instruments- ICP-AES/MS, Glow Discharge Mass spectrometer- in our Lab. We have carried out collaborated research on geological and environmental sciences with large-scale equipment
