ENVIROMENTAL APPLICATIONS
Tracing pollutant sources, studying ecosystem dynamics, and monitoring climate change
ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATIONS
Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) is essential in environmental science for tracing pollutant sources, studying ecosystem dynamics, and monitoring climate change. By analysing isotopic ratios of elements like carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen in air, water, soil, and biological samples, IRMS helps identify pollution sources, track nutrient cycles, and understand processes such as carbon sequestration and water utilization. This precise isotopic data supports the development of strategies for environmental protection, conservation efforts, and sustainable resource management, contributing to the overall health and resilience of ecosystems.

The world’s most sensitive small radius IRMS
The HS2022 is the most sensitive small radius IRMS in the world. Combining superior analytical performance with reliability, flexibility, ease of use and maintenance, the HS2022 IRMS ensures that all your scientific needs are met. Backed by over 20 years of development with a no compromise approach to its engineering integrity, Sercon provides the ultimate isotope ratio mass spectrometer. This technology is available in both continuous flow and dual inlet mode, and can be interfaced to a wide range of sample preparation devices and inlets. The HS2022 IRMS incorporates many high level design features, including an extremely robust, linear and sensitive source, a stainless steel flight tube, a thoria-coated filament, and high resolution amplifiers for a large dynamic range.
