Equipment and newly developed methodological approaches for isotopic–geochemical studying fluid phases in rocks and minerals

Abstract

The paper presents data on an original equipment complex, consisting of two apparatuses, designed to prepare rock and mineral samples for the isotopic analysis of their fluid and/or gas inclusions. An example of samples from the Guli alkaline ultramafic massif in the Maimecha–Kutui province, northern central Siberia, is employed to demonstrate the capabilities of the technique of stepwise sample crushing and multiple-isotope analysis of the fluid phase.
