machine specifications:

• Dual inlet, triple collector IRMS (Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer) devoted specifically for ¹⁷O/¹⁶O and ¹⁸O/¹⁶O ratio analysis of meteorites, rocks and minerals, using O₂ as a measuring gas.
• On-line, laser-assisted fluorination system for O₂ extraction.
• Required sample size is normally 1-2 mg.

applications:

• High precision δ¹⁷O and δ¹⁸O analysis of meteorites, rocks, minerals and oxide samples with precision of ±0.1 ‰.
