User accounts are now usable on IsoFind!

You can now create your own free user accounts on IsoFind, with or without an email address.

These accounts allow you to:

  • Contribute to the isotopic wiki
  • Set up your alerts
  • Save records of deposits or environmental sites
  • Configure your own isotopic standards to directly display comparable values ​​from the literature
  • Save and resume your modeling or mapping work
  • And much more.

Data sovereignty is a matter of utmost importance to us. All your data is and remains private and encrypted, and even we at IsoFind do not have access to it.
All accounts can be created WITHOUT sharing any personal data (no email required, no personal information).

Website and tools

Standards can now be compared directly from the IsoFind website.

For many isotopic systems involving non-conventional elements, there is no standardized zero value; instead, each research team uses its own internal standard solutions, which makes comparing values ​​between laboratories highly cumbersome.

IsoFind provides free access to its database of comparisons for standards and reference materials.

It covers 24 isotopic systems and over 330 standards and reference materials—all with cited sources—and provides detailed breakdowns for every calculation.
