Isotope ratio mass spectrometer

Specialist mass spectrometry equipment is available to our students, staff and researchers interested in the analysis of elemental composition and isotopic ratios in carbonate samples.

Available analyses include:

  • δ13C and δ18O
  • Δ47 of CO2 from carbonates (clumped isotope palaeothermometry)

MAT-253

Specifications
