LABEISS system (Laser Ablation Elemental Isotopic Spectrometer) — Based on recent advances in analytical optical spectroscopic techniques using laser ablation, a more compact and versatile instrument will be developed in this project, which combines LIBS (Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) and LAMIS (Laser Ablation Molecular Isotopic Spectrometry) technologies. It will allow analysis without sample preparation with the instrument at a distance from sample. 

It will provide isotopic analyses with precision in future exploring extraterrestrial environment missions as well as other fields such as nuclear science, geology and archeology among other emerging needs of the marketplace.

The primary challenge is to determine the best implementation of combining the LAMIS method with LIBS (and possibly Raman operation) to determine isotopic elemental composition and quantification for different targets. 

Supporting this technology development and pioneering this field will place Canada in an excellent position for future space exploration missions to the
