University of Ghent Installation

Service & Installation Engineer Henry Cooke recently installed a new Sercon HTEA instrument at the University of Ghent, Belgium.

Our client, Katja Van Nieuland, from the Isotope Bioscience Laboratory, Department of Green Chemistry, is engaged on a research project testing tree samples from the Congo rainforest to determine isotopic ratios of Oxygen, and how these ratios vary in different parts of the tree.

Henry plumbed the new HTEA into their existing Sercon 20-20 mass spectrometer, to be used alongside their old Europa GSL.

Henry enjoys the opportunities his work gives him to experience the locations he works in as fully as time allows, and on this trip he managed to explore the beautiful cities of Ghent and Brugges, visiting churches, castles, restaurants and bars.
