Center for Trace Analysis

The University of Southern Mississippi’s (USM) Center for Trace Analysis (CETA) coordinates analytical services provided by the USM Department of Marine Science. Most specifically, this means trace element analysis utilizing the department’s high resolution inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer (HR-ICP-MS). CETA’s ultimate mission is to provide state-of-the-art expertise, training, analytical services and research in trace chemical analyses.
