Mass Spectrometry

Stable Isotope Analyzers

Description

The determination of the isotopic ratio between stable isotopes requires a specific mass spectrometry technique.

In particular, they are suitable for the analysis of the relative isotopic abundance between stable isotopes of elements such as Carbon, Nitrogen, Sulfur, Hydrogen and Oxygen.

The so-called IRMS (Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer) systems consist of a magnetic sector mass detector, common to all possible configurations, and one or more peripherals depending on the applications and the type of matrices to be analyzed.

NC Technologies is the exclusive worldwide partner of Compact Science Systems, a manufacturer of IRMS spectrometers.

In particular, we are able to offer EA-IRMS, GC-IRMS and headspace – IRMS systems, in Continuous Flow mode, ideal for analysis in the agri-food, environmental, petrochemical, geological and flavors and fragrances sectors.

Our IRMS spectrometers are the most compact, easy to use and maintain and quick to install currently on the market.

COMAPCT IDmicro IRMS is the most compact benchtop detector for stable isotope analysis in Continuous Flow mode. It is available on CN or CNS-O configuration, with standard or high sensitivity performances.

Designed for efficiency and ease of use, it allows non-specialist technicians to operate the instrument while still delivering precise and reliable results. With straightforward operation and powerful performance, the COMPACT IDmicro enhances productivity in any laboratory setting.

COMPACT IDmicro is equipped with the new easyREF device, which allows analyses to be performed without the use of reference gases. This technological solution further reduces the cost per analysis.

COMPACT IDmicro can be connected to one or more peripherals, depending on the analytical needs and application:

  • elemental analyzers for Bulk Stable Isotope Analysis (BSIA)
  • GCs for Compound Specific Isotope Analysis (CSIA)
  • COMPACT FLOW, the headspace dedicated to the analysis of δ13C and δ18O in rocks and carbonates
  • 8070 AIR CO2 concentrator and purifier of atmospheric CO2 for the analysis of δ13C in atmospheric air

IsoDelta is the software that manages all IRMS systems. IsoDelta makes it easy to understand analytical results, whether used as an automated control system for non-specialists or in its advanced mode, allowing the expert user to delve into the software for specialized data interpretation. From routine analysis to demanding research applications, IsoDelta makes data interrogation easy.
