Stable isotope sample handling made easy with headspace analyzers

Headspace analysis is a powerful technique used to analyze samples prepared for analysis in a septum sealed vial or flask. These samples are typically gaseous, but if not, our instruments will automatically prepare the sample into the gas phase and purify it prior to analysis at the isotope ratio mass spectrometer, reducing the requirement for prior sample clean up. 

Our headspace analyzers provide a very flexible solution for the analysis of a broad range of sample types including ground water, sea water, carbonates, dissolved inorganic carbonates (DICs), greenhouse gases, body fluids, fruit juices, wines, and spirits. Delivering high precision and highly sensitive automated analysis of a broad range of sample types means that our headspace analyzers are utilized across nearly all application areas. 

Our headspace analyzers are peripheral inlet systems designed specifically for stable isotope analysis and intended for coupling with our isoprime precisION isotope ratio mass spectrometer . The iso FLOW is the ideal headspace analyzer for stable isotope analysis in carbonate materials, DICs, and liquids, while our iso FLOW GHG is specialized on the analysis of atmospheric greenhouse gases.
