| Description | Achieve continuous-flow online analysis of oxygen and hydrogen isotope ratios with the TC/EA high temperature conversion elemental analyzer. The TC/EA high temperature conversion elemental analyzer for continuous-flow IRMS to online oxygen and hydrogen isotope ratio analysis for all organic and some inorganic samples. The system uses high-temperature pyrolysis to convert oxygen to CO and hydrogen to H2. The gases are separated by isothermal gas chromatography and measured against reference gas. |
