Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) is an ultra-sensitive analytical technique based on the use of an ion accelerator as a powerful mass spectrometer.

The samples preparation facilities include state-of-the-art chemistry laboratories and other specialist supporting areas

ANSTO is a partner on the National Space Qualification Network (NSQN) led by the Australian National University (ANU) that will transform Australia into a world-leading space centre by enhancing facilities to test payloads, components, and hardware prior to their use in harsh environments of space.

ANSTO is participating in a new Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for Indigenous and Environmental Histories and Futures (CIEHF) to be headquartered at James Cook University (JCU) that aims to bring Indigenous and environmental histories to the forefront of land and sea management.

In Part 2 of our series exploring the world of nuclear science and technology at ANSTO, we share more detailed information about the nuclear scientist’s toolkit.

ANSTO provides multiple sources for radiation testing of materials and devices including Co-60 gamma sources, x-ray, proton and heavier ion-beams.

By submitting a proposal for Merit Access to ANSTO’s Biosciences, Centre for Accelerator Science, Isotope Tracing, Nuclear Stewardship or the Vivarium capabilities, you are agreeing to the following Terms and Conditions. These Terms and Conditions apply to external merit researchers, scientific collaborators and partners unless there is a specific agreement in place between ANSTO and the home institution of the Principal Investigator.
