Description
Stable isotope analysis is an established technique in the diverse field of Earth sciences, and has been exploited with great success to further our understanding of this planet and others. Covering applications such as geochemistry, geology, climate change and hydrology, stable isotope analysis is invaluable to understanding the macro and micro-cycling mechanisms of the organic elements of C, H, O, N and S through the biosphere by natural processes.
GeovisION has been developed to bring stable isotope analysis to a sophisticated audience looking for simpler instrumentation with improved resource efficiency, while retaining the high performance needed to analyze the most challenging samples.
A powerful combination:
Elemental Analysis – Conversion of bulk organic and inorganic materials to sample gases prior to isotope analysis
Isotope Analysis – Intelligent analysis of sample gases from GC & EA inlets
Gas Chromatography – Separation of volatile organics and real time conversion to sample gases
GeovisION ENHANCEMENTS
- Go deeper into your samples by adding δ13C, δ15N & δD compound specific isotope analysis with Agilent 7890 GC for biogeochemical analysis.
- For complete confidence in your GC-IRMS analysis, add the Agilent 5977A mass selective detector for simultaneous compound identification and isotope analysis.
- Perform accurate weighing with 6 figure analytical microbalance for high precision elemental analysis.
- Utilize enriched isotopes to probe complex natural interactions with automatic amplifier switching.
Minimal footprint
GeovisION is almost 50% smaller than any other commercial stable isotope analyzer currently on the market, combining a small form factor with impressive power and performance.
Advanced sample analysis
GeovisION is one of the most capable systems available for Earth science analysis, with features including:
- 100V amplification for large dynamic range samples
- Advanced purge and trap chromatography for exceptional separation of combustion gases
- Zero blank ball valve sample introduction for low-concentration nitrogen analysis
- A patented backflushing technique in pyrolysis mode that completely separates contaminant N2 from CO prior to analysis
- Exceptional SO2 performance for analysis of inorganic sulfur-containing materials
- Auto sample dilution
- 120-position sample carousel that can be added to in real time, as well as being temperature-controlled to reduce water vapor contamination
