Let's build together
the future of isotopic geochemistry

IsoFind is an open scientific project. Whether you are a researcher, developer or geochemist, your contribution can transform the way isotopic data is managed worldwide.

How to contribute

Four ways to get involved

Every contribution directly enriches a tool used by laboratories and researchers around the world.

Reference data

Share your validated isotopic data to enrich the community database and improve the accuracy of matches for everyone.

Plugins and extensions

Develop plugins to extend IsoFind's capabilities and share them with the scientific community through the built-in library.

Testing and feedback

Use IsoFind in your real workflows and report your feedback to guide development priorities.

Scientific validation

Contribute to the validation of matching models and standardization algorithms as a disciplinary expert.

Open format

Contribute to the ISOF standard

ISOF (Isotopic Secure Open Format) is IsoFind's open standard for the exchange of geochemical and forensic isotopic data. Your expertise can enrich it.

ECDSA cryptographic signature

Each .isof file is digitally signed by the issuing laboratory. Any alteration is instantly detectable, with no dependency on a third-party server.

Complete analytical metadata

Raw ratios, uncertainties, purification yields and protocols, all in a single immutable and reproducible container.

MIT license: open source

Integrable into any existing LIMS or analytical pipeline. Available in Python and Rust, with no vendor lock-in.
