Stable Isotope Ratio Facility for Environmental Research

SIRFER provides H, C, N, O, and S stable isotope ratio analyses on both organic and inorganic samples. We serve investigators in anthropology, biology, chemistry, ecology, geology, and medicine.

SIRFER provides research support to the University of Utah community, and offers the same quality analytical services to those from outside the university.

We have a strong commitment to secondary, undergraduate, and graduate level training, ranging from one-on-one training for students who wish to conduct their own analyses to coursework support and outreach activities.

As a core facility of the University of Utah, SIRFER supports research across multiple disciplines and partners with national research networks including NEON.
