Instrument: Isotope-ratio Mass Spectrometer
The Isotope-ratio Mass Spectrometer is a particular type of mass spectrometer used to measure the relative abundance of isotopes in a given sample (e.g. VG Prism II Isotope Ratio Mass-Spectrometer).
Continuing from mid 2011 to present, water samples for DIC and delta 13/12 C isotope ratios of 0.02 nylon filtered water samples is analyzed inhouse using a Mass Spectrometer (Thermo Scientific) in the lab of Dr. Jay Brandes (Skidaway Island Scientific Stable Isotope Laboratory, SISSIL)
