Powerful isotope ratio capabilities for
GC/MS
Building on Thermo Fisher's leadership in isotope ratio mass spectrometry, the GC IsoLink makes isotope ratio monitoring GC/MS (irm-GC/MS) as easy to perform as GC/MS
Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced the European launch of its GC IsoLink at Analytica 2008 Scientists, lab managers and operators can now routinely use isotope analysis to unravel unique information about the history and origin of compounds separated by gas chromatography (GC)

GC/MS users can now utilise the power of irm-GC/MS analysis to discover information about their samples that was previously inaccessible by any other technique.
Chemical and physical processes can change the natural isotope compositions of organic compounds.
While common GC/MS provides structural information and compound quantification, irm-GC/MS reveals the history and origin of compounds by reading their isotopic signature with ultra-high precision.
Users benefit from the GC IsoLink's fully automated coupling of GC to Isotope Ratio MS.
The new solution incorporates all conversion techniques for carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen compound-specific isotope analysis.
This significantly simplifies the instrumentation previously required.
The GC IsoLink promises to bring the power of irm-GC/MS analysis into mainstream GC/MS for applications such as environmental research, paleogeochemistry, climatology, microbial ecology, forensics, food authentication, metabolomics and sports doping control.
