Founded in 1971 by Dr. Peter Fritz, the EIL offers analysis for the isotopes of a number of elements including hydrogen (δ2H, 3H), carbon (δ13C, 14C), nitrogen (δ15N), oxygen (δ18O), sulphur (δ34S), chlorine (δ37Cl), bromine (δ81Br) and strontium (87Sr/86Sr) for a wide variety of applications. The EIL is an innovative modern research facility with an international client base encompassing universities, government agencies, consulting firms and other research institutions.
