The workhorse in elemental analyzer isotope ratio analysis
Meet the workhorse in elemental analyzer isotope ratio analysis (EA-IRMS): the vario ISOTOPE select. This elemental analyzer inlet combines reliable results with outstanding robustness. The vario ISOTOPE select is designed for simultaneous carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur isotope ratio analysis in samples with weights of up to 300 mg. Analysis results with highest precision and accuracy are guaranteed thanks to highly efficient gas preconcentration and peak separation. The analyzer also offers the option for δ2H determination of water and convinces with highest system uptime thanks to its low-maintenance design. In combination with one of our state-of-the-art IRMS systems, you will always get the best out of your analyses.
Highlights of the vario ISOTOPE select
Excellent peak shapes and separation with simultaneous NCS analysis
for analysis of very low sulfur contents in high carbon samples (e.g. tree rings)
Low-level δ15N analysis
made possible through our zero-blank sample introduction system
High operating comfort
thanks to a high level of automation and low maintenance
240-position autosampler
for maximum throughput of microsamples
Features
Excellent peak shapes and separation thanks to Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD)
The vario ISOTOPE select delivers excellent peak shapes and full peak separation in simultaneous NCS analysis mode in less than nine minutes. This is achieved thanks to our patented Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD) technology, which separates combustion gases using dynamic – not preprogrammed - heating.
