Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides a detailed description of the Sercon Aqua and µCarbs systems, which are advanced tools for isotopic analysis in various applications such as water equilibration, headspace, and gas analysis. These systems are engineered for high precision and flexibility, suitable for analyzing isotopic data from samples like water, carbonates, and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC).
Key Features:
  • Temperature Programmable Sample Tray: Both systems include a heated sample tray that enhances reaction rates with a precision of ±0.1°C, capable of holding up to 200 vials for unattended operations.
  • High Precision Isotopic Data: The HS2022 source provides excellent precision for small sample sizes, ideal for high-sensitivity applications.
  • Dual Needle System (µCarbs): Features separate needles for acid delivery and headspace flush, optimizing flow rates and reducing blockages.
  • Acid Delivery System: The µCarbs system incorporates a phosphoric acid reservoir within the heated tray to ensure smooth delivery and prevent crystallization.
Sample Measurements:
  • Water Samples: Measurement of δ18O and δ2H via headspace equilibration.
  • Gaseous Samples: Analysis of δ13C in breath and atmospheric CO2.
  • Carbonates and DIC: Measurement of δ18O and δ13C, with some analyses requiring manual acid injection.
Procedures:
  • Water Equilibration: Vials are flushed with helium and CO2 or H2 for isotope measurement, then transferred to IRMS for analysis.
  • Carbonate and DIC Analysis: Involves manual acid injection to produce CO2 for isotopic analysis.
Specifications:
  • Power Requirements: 100-240 VAC.
  • Helium Purity: 99.998%.
Service and Support: Sercon provides comprehensive support, including remote assistance and on-site engineer visits. Training is offered during installation, with additional courses available for specific applications.
Precision Data: A table in the document details sample types, sizes, isotopes measured, and precision levels, showcasing the system's capability for high-precision analysis.
Additional System: The document also references the Sercon Aqua, a high-performance system for water equilibration measurements, headspace, and gas analysis.
