Instrument: Isotope-ratio Mass Spectrometer

Instrument Short Name: IR Mass Spec; IRMS
(http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB16/)
Instrument Description:

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).

PI supplied instrument name: ThermoFisher Delta V
Dataset-specific description

Based upon nitrate concentration, 10 nmol of N were injected into vials containing denitrifying bacteria to convert nitrate to nitrous oxide for isotopic analysis on a ThermoFisher Delta V isotope ratio mass spectrometer.
