Stable Isotope Lab. : IsoPrime (GV Instrument)

What's new? Instruments

・2007.09.17: IsoPrime page up

  • Mass spectrometry: IsoPrime
  • Preparation system: MultiPrep
  • Lab. name:Inorganic Geochemistry Lab.
  • Samples:foraminifera, bulk carbonate
  • GV IsoPrime installed in Marth 2003 was the main instrument for stable carbon and oxygen isotope analysis of carbonate samaples such as foraminifera and bulk carbonate. The IsoPrime has been equiped with a Gilson autosampler for automated sample acquisition. This system is now optimized to acquire carbon and oxygen isotopes on foraminifera samples.

Research subjects
  • Establish the age model of core samples by oxygen isotope stratigraphy
  • high-resolution analysis of planktonic foraminifers with different dwelling habitats to reveal the variability of surface water structure
