TOC analyzer iso TOC cube®

Stable isotope analysis helps to understand the processes that control the carbon and nitrogen cycling in aquatic systems. The quantitative and isotopic analysis of dissolved matter (e.g. dissolved total organic carbon, total bound nitrogen, etc.) is of particular importance since this pool is a prime conduit in the cycling of nitrogen and carbon. The iso TOC cube elemental analyzer inlet presents a new high-temperature combustion method for the quantitative and isotopic analysis of dissolved total organic carbon (TOC) and dissolved total bound nitrogen (TNb). It is the only instrument capable of performing these analyses, making it an indispensable tool for ecologists, limnologists, and oceanographers. Highlights of the iso TOC cube Direct δ13C isotope analysis of TOC in aqueous samples with the possibility of column preconcentration for low TOC samples Direct δ15N isotope analysis of TNb in aqueous samples with the only commercially available instrument capable of this kind of analysis High sample throughput thanks to a direct analysis method which does not require sample preparation High system uptime thanks to low-maintenance design Features Direct δ13C isotope analysis of TOC in aqueous samples The iso TOC cube is a combustion analyzer with greater analytical robustness and less maintenance than analyzers working with wet-chemical or UV oxidation methods.
