Thermo MAT 253 IRMS with KIEL
Description
The Thermo MAT 253 isotope ratio mass spectrometer (IRMS) with Kiel IV carbonate preparation device measures the stable isotopes of carbon and oxygen from inorganic carbonates. All samples are analysed using two primary NBS standards and a secondary standard.
The instrument contributes to a wide range of iso-geochemical fields, including paleo-climate reconstruction, palaeontology, marine forensic biology and minerology.
