LA.TE. ANDES continues to advance in its constant pursuit of improvement, maintaining high standards of quality and commitment. In May 2026, we are pleased to announce the renewal of our ISO 9001:2015 Certification (TÜVRheinland®, certificate registration number 01 10006 2529626).
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 capitalizing on opportunities, and growing sustainably by introducing new innovative 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 to the issuance of technical reports:
- Fission traces in apatites and/or zircons using two methods: EDM (External Detector Method) and LA-ICP-MS (Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry).
- Uranium-Lead in apatites and/or zircons by LA-ICP-MS (laser ablation and mass spectrometry).
- Uranium–Thorium–Helium in apatites and/or zircons via isotopic dilution using mass spectrometry (ICP-MS and Alphachron).
- In situ dual dating (fission tracks and Uranium-Lead) in apatites and zircons via LA-ICP-MS.
- Geochemistry in apatites and zircons by LA-ICP-MS.
Furthermore, as a result of a new I+D+i initiative carried out by the LA.TE. ANDES team, we were able to expand the scope of the Quality Management System by incorporating:
Provision of sample reception, dating, and interpretation services for geochronology studies, through to the issuance of technical reports, including:
- Uranium-Lead in carbonates by LA-ICP-MS (laser ablation and mass spectrometry).
From northern Argentina, we have established ourselves by using cutting-edge technology to quantify time and geochemical indicators of geological processes for industry (Oil & Gas, Mining) and the scientific community.
