Heading of content section
CAS, located at ANSTO’s Lucas Heights campus, provides ion-beam analysis and accelerator mass spectrometry to identify and analyse the chemical make-up of samples or to test how they behave. These capabilities to analyse samples down to the sub-atomic level support a wide range of research and innovation in areas from advanced materials development, to environment and climate modelling, to future technologies for cancer treatment. CAS enables researchers and industry from around Australia and the world to answer the big questions and challenges that we face today.
HOW WE CAN HELP
CAS will provide excellence in accelerator based research and development, providing services for the benefit of the Australian community.
Services
CAS capabilities include:
- 2D/3D Material Modification, Radiation Testing and Characterisation – ion microscopy analysis, low energy (keV) and high energy (MeV) ion implantation, ion beam induced charge, irradiation in vacuum and in air for materials damage testing or radiobiology
- Ultra-sensitive and high precision actinide isotopic analysis – U, Pu, I-129 Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) measurement and data processing
- Aerosol Measurement & Fine Particle Characterisation – Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) measurement and data processing of fine particle pollution collection filters (provided) and data interpretation for aerosol source identification
- Bulk Sample Characterisation & near-surface analysis – element analysis, element depth profiling analysis, IBA measurement and data interpretation
- Ultra-sensitive and high precision cosmogenic isotope dating – Be-10, Al-26, Cl-36 AMS measurements and data processing
- Radiocarbon dating – C-14 AMS measurement and data processing
- Chemistry techniques for sample preparation – extraction of C-14, Be-10, Al-26, Cl-26, U, Pu, I-29 isotopes from a wide range of materials in preparation for isotope analysis and dating

Various access modes are available to the CAS for Australian and international researchers.
Application based
Access to the CAS accelerators and chemical laboratories are available to Australian and international researchers through an open, competitive, peer-reviewed, merit-based user program with submissions entered via the online ANSTO Research Portal. Two submission rounds are held each year, closing the start of March and September.
Fee based
Commercial/industry access is available on a fee-for-service basis. Further details are available on the ANSTO website.
Open Access, Time limited embargo, Closed (user controlled).
CAS generates processed data files that are required for interpretation and/or journal publication with further method detail available on request. This is time limited embargoed to enable users to publish and retain intellectual property, after which the data becomes open access.
CAS co-authorship is expected on published papers that use data acquired by CAS capabilities provided to users through CAS scientists and technicians.
For commercial contract access the data acquired is considered proprietary to the user and is therefore closed (user controlled).
