Spectrometry and Spectroscopy

Gas Chromatography – Combustion/Pyrolysis – Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (GC-C/Py-IRMS) system – Thermo Scientific Trace 1310 GC, Isolink II, ConFloIV, Delta V Plus IRMS

Trace1310 gas chromatograph, Isolink II, ConFlo IV, and a Delta V Plus IRMS.

Trace1310 gas chromatograph, Isolink II, ConFlo IV, and a Delta V Plus IRMS

This GC-IRMS system is configured to perform compound-specific isotope analysis of compounds that are separable via gas chromatography, and can measure either δ2H or δ13C.
