LA.TE. ANDES continues to advance in its constant pursuit of improvement, maintaining high standards of quality and commitment. In May 2025, we are very pleased to announce the renewal of our ISO 9001:2015 Certification (TÜVRheinland®, certificate registration number 01 100 2029779).
We dedicate our daily efforts to improving the organization’s overall performance, consistently offering top-quality geological and chemical-isotopic services. We constantly seek to enhance customer satisfaction both nationally and internationally, regularly assessing risks and opportunities, and growing sustainably by introducing innovative new services for the industry. We are always driven by the challenge of pushing the boundaries of knowledge.
The scope of the Quality Management System at LA.TE. ANDES S.A. is:
Provision of dating and geochemical services for geo- and thermochronological studies, from sample receipt through the issuance of technical reports:
-Fission traces in apatites and zircons using two methods: EDM (External Detector Method) and LA-ICP-MS (Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry).
-Uranium-Lead dating in apatites and zircons using LA-ICP-MS (laser ablation and mass spectrometry).
-Uranium–Thorium–Helium dating in apatites and zircons via isotopic dilution using mass spectrometry (ICP-MS and Alphachron).
-In situ dual dating (fission traces and Uranium-Lead) in apatites and zircons by LA-ICP-MS.
-Geochemistry in apatites and zircons by LA-ICP-MS.
From northern Argentina, we have established ourselves as an international leader in quantifying time in geological processes for industry (Oil & Gas, Mining) and the scientific community.
