Facilities
Facilities in the Stable Isotope Laboratory include two Finnigan MAT gas source mass spectrometers (252 and delta-+ XL), both in continuous flow configuration with a gas chromatograph enabling compound specific isotope analysis of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. In addition, we are equipped with a high temperature TC-EA (elemental analyzer) for isotopic analysis of hydrogen and oxygen; gas chromatographs and auto-analyzers for determination of concentrations of gaseous hydrocarbons and dissolved components in groundwater. Three vacuum lines and a dual inlet with a 12 position multi-port on the 252 enable preparation and off-line analyses of organic and inorganic compounds for standardization and calibration purposes.
