WEEK 5: Delta V Plus

We used Gas Chromatography and now we also used another instrument to verify our results. The Delta V plus mass spectrometer primarily designated to measure the isotope ratio of H/D, 15N/14N, 18O/16O, 34S/32S, 37Cl/35Cl and most important one 12C/13C and other elements that can be transformed into gaseous substance. The gases used with this type of IRMS are CO2, H2, N2, NO, O2 etc.

We are working on Amino Acid samples to measure Nitrogen Isotopes. For our lab we are having secondary inlet system for up to 20 samples. We can use samples in very small amount and the results are done at IRMS.

Making samples for measurement

We are using Isobat 2.5 software suite for system control, data acquisition and data evaluation that is an integral part of the system architecture.
