The U-Pb method is the most commonly used dating method and can be applied to various minerals including apatite and zircon. The ESD research group hosts a laser ablation (Resolution SE) and ICP-MS (Agilent 7900) which can used to perform U-Pb dating and measure trace element concentrations. Details of the used method are given in
The method described is implemented in a Matlab standalone application, which can be downloaded from here. Either you have the newest version of Matlab installed on your Mac or you have to install the runtime environment.
