Description

Thermo Isotope Ratio instrument bundle (Quotation UKSOP-19654)
Bundle includes 3 DELTA V Advantage Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometers (HD
Ready) with the relevant prep and linking (conflo) modules, and data
management, to form the following system combinations:
1. Trace gas analysis. The GasBench II and Trace Gas Precon will enable
analysis of 13C in CO2 and CH4, 15N in N2 and N2O, 18O in CO2 and N2O.
13C in Carbonates is also offered using the included Carbonate option.
Additional collaborative work is proposed to develop unique capability to
analyse 2H in CH4.
2. Flash EA (including pyrolysis reactor); bulk isotope analysis of (for
example) soil, plants, biota for: 13C,15N, 34S, 18O, 2H. An included
amplifier kit will also enable analyses of these at high enrichment for
tracer experiments.
3. Trace GC/ISQ 7000 hybrid GC-MS/IRMS and GC Isolink (including 15N
option) to enable 13C and 15N analysis and identification of individual
compounds separated by the GC
4. Standalone Vanquish Core UPLC system for quantitation of known
compounds in aqueous solution/extracts.
5. Standalone EA analyser for CNS analysis.
