Eleven giant branch stars in 47 Tucanæ were observed using the Robert Stobie Spectro-graph (RSS) on the Southern African Large Telescope during the performance verification phase of this instrument. These stars were analysed as part of a quest to investigate s-process element abundances throughout the colour-magnitude diagram of 47 Tucanæ. No abundance variations of Zr, Ba, Nd and Eu were found in these eleven stars, such that [X/Fe] = 0.0+/-0.5 3dex. Further, theoretical analysis indicates that the maximum resolution on RSS and AAOmega on the Anglo-Australian Telescope is sufficient to detect s-process element abundance variations. More detailed discussion on the abundance analysis of these stars and the theoretical analysis of spectrograph resolution can be found in [l].
