Thermo Delta V Plus, interfaced with a PreCon and a Gas Bench II. |
| • |
Thermo Delta V Advantage located in Cairo, Egypt, interfaced with a GC for carbon and hydrogen isotope analysis of gas samples. |
| • |
Thermo Delta V Plus for conventional dual inlet work, interfaced with a GC for carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen analysis of gas samples, and also interfaced with our TC/EA for hydrogen and oxygen isotope analysis of solids and liquids. |
| • |
Thermo Delta V Advantage, interfaced to a GC-combustion system for mudgases and also an EA for C, N, H, and S analysis of solids and liquids. |
| • |
Finnigan Delta Plus XL for dual inlet work. |
| • |
Thermo Finnigan Delta Plus for online carbon isotope analysis of mudgas samples. |
| • |
Finnigan Delta S Mass Spectrometer for conventional dual inlet work, interfaced with an elemental analyzer. |
|
| • |
All instruments are installed in a dedicated room with uninterruptible power supply and a back-up generator to ensure that samples will not be lost due to a power failure during analysis. |
| • |
Nine Gas Chromatographs for compositional analysis of gases and for preparation of gas samples for isotopic analysis of different species; several are interfaced with vacuum systems for sample preparation. |
| • |
Two Wallac LKB Low Level Liquid Scintillation Spectrometers in a temperature-controlled environment for Beta counting of tritium.
|
 Electrolytic enrichment for low-level tritium analysis is carried out in glass electrolysis cells cooled in a refrigerated water bath.
In addition to routine laboratory facilities such as drying ovens and fume hoods, Isotech maintains numerous glass and metal vacuum systems for various sample preparation procedures.
