Introduction
The GSL Carbonate set-up allows for the analysis of
δ13C and δ18O isotopes in carbonate samples from 10
to 500µg with a high degree of accuracy and precision. Data from carbonates, for example, can be used
to build accurate palaeoclimates.
The Sercon heated sample bed can hold 220 samples
in 5ml vials which are split into two halves that can be
heated independently. As well as carbonate analysis, the GSL can be used for any other gas head-space
analysis (e.g. breath, atmospheric CO2
, etc.) and combustion of solid or liquid samples.
