Carbon Dioxide Isotope Analyzer - Elevated CO₂

LGR’s new "Carbon Dioxide Isotope Analyzer - Elevated CO₂" provides many features that researchers need when measuring isotopic carbon dioxide from samples containing high levels of CO₂ including:

The stable isotope composition of carbonate minerals has been of interest for decades, with initial research focusing on measurements of carbonates in the ocean for paleoceanography applications. Stable isotope studies of carbonates have also been used extensively to explore the role of fluid-rock reaction and geosphere-hydrosphere-atmosphere interactions in the earth and environmental sciences. To date, conventional analyses involve acidification of a carbonate sample to produce CO₂, followed by measurements with IRMS. While effective, IRMS requires a trained operator, is expensive, and cannot be performed in the field.
