Institute of Earthsciences heiMAG Laboratory for Earth Magnetism
This needs editing and fleshing out... The heiMAG Laboratory for Earth Magnetism is a brand new, cutting-edge facility for Rockmagnetic and Paleomagnetic investigations. The lab is well equipped for at room and high-temperature measurements (up to 700˚ C). Ground breaking on contructing the lab began in 2023 and expected to be complete in early 2026.
2G Superconducting Rock Magnetometer (SRM) with RAPID Sample-Handler System
Superconducting Rock Magnetometer for measuring discrete samples, fully automated and capable of running 99 individual samples per batch running any combination of NRM/AF demagnetizations, IRMs, and ARMs. The system operates at 4.5K and is liquid helium free.
ASC TD-48SC Thermal Demagnetizer with Field Coil
Thermal demagnetizer with a magnetically shielded enclosure capable of heating 48 samples up 800˚ C. Also capable of applying fields during the heating cycle.
AGICO JR-6A Spinner Magnetometer
The JR‑6A is a state‑of‑the‑art spinner magnetometer for measuring remanent magnetization in geological and archaeological research. Its combination of automation, sensitivity, and robustness makes it one of the premier instruments in rock magnetism laboratories worldwide. It is the automated version (“A” stands for automatic manipulator) of the JR‑6, capable of rotating and orienting samples automatically for full vector measurements.
The instrument can measure discrete samples but has the benefit of measuring just the remanent magnetization and not the induced magnetization as the SRM potentially does.
AGICO MFK2 Three Frequency Kappabridge with CS4 Furnace
Kappabridge magnetic susceptibility meter capable of bulk and anisotropic magnetic susceptibly at ambient as well as high temperatures. AGICO CS4 Furnace for High-Temjperature Magnetic Susceptibility
AGICO LDA5 AF Demagnetizer with PAM1 Magnetizer
Alternating-field demagnetizer (up to 200 mT) with added capability to apply small impulse and an-hysteretic magnetizations. The sample uses a tumbler to manipulate the sample through all three axes during the demagnetization process.
AGICO PUMA Impulse Magnetizer
Impulse magnetizer capable of magnetizing discrete samples with applied fields up to 5 T.
