Mass Spectrometer Geo SerCon 20-20

The Mass spectrometer Geo SerCon 20-20 allows the determination of δ18O, δ15N and δ13C in a wide variety of samples: sediments, soils, water, biota.
The use of δ15N together with δ13C (water and sediments) allows the identification of anthropogenic activities in the environment, i.e., intensive land use for agriculture, disposal of organic wastes, identification of nitrates origin in aquifer systems for example.
Determination of C, N and δ13C allows the assessment of the origin of organic matter deposited in coastal environments related to palaeoenvironmental reconstruction, anthropogenic impacts, sea level and climatic changes.
