Our Mission

Iolite has been around for a long time but we realise that there are now a number of new software products available to LA-ICP-MS users. How do you choose? We believe that our key advantages are:


Produced exclusively by a team at the cutting edge of laser ablation research – see below for some of our many contributions to this field

15 years of continued development and improvement

Compatible with almost any laser+ICP-MS system. No need to ‘shoehorn’ your data into someone else’s data format. We do all the hard work for you with carefully crafted importers for a wide range of instruments

It’s not a ‘black box’. Easily visualise your data at any stage in processing from the raw files to the final publication results with appropriate uncertainties, LODs etc.

A wide array of support options and a long history of responding to user requests for new functionality
