iso TOC cube

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document introduces the iso TOC® cube, a pioneering system for integrated TOC/TNb isotope ratio analysis. It combines decades of experience in elemental analysis with high-performance IRMS systems, enabling precise isotope ratio analysis of dissolved carbon and nitrogen in various liquid samples without extensive preparation.

Key Features

First integrated TOC-IRMS system for simultaneous C and N isotope analysis.
100% recovery of C and N, independent of sample type and matrix.
Handles a wide range of matrices, from dilute aqueous samples to aggressive soil extracts.
Equipped with a 32-position autosampler and sophisticated self-diagnosis for ease of use.

Technical Specifications

Oxidation temperatures up to 1200°C ensure complete recovery.
Advanced Purge and Trap technology for high sensitivity and clean separation.
Simultaneous determination of δ13C and δ15N at low concentrations.
Patented cryogen-free N2 trap for efficient nitrogen trapping.

Sample Handling and Analysis

Optimized for handling liquid samples with particles.
Matrix separation allows analysis of concentrated salt solutions.
Direct determination from liquid phase eliminates the need for freeze drying.

Quality and Reliability

10-year warranty on the furnace, with spare parts available for 10 years post-production.
Manufactured in Germany with high performance components and strict quality control.

Applications

Ideal for environmental, academic, quality control, and contract laboratories.
Analyzes ultra-pure water, drinking water, sea water, waste water, brine, soil leachate, and suspensions.

Performance Comparison
The document includes a table comparing δ13C values determined by TOC-IRMS and conventional EA/IRMS, demonstrating the system's precision and accuracy.

Conclusion
The iso TOC cube offers high sensitivity, data quality, durability, and sample throughput, making it a valuable tool for elemental analysis across various sectors.
