Instrument Configurations

The Flash IRMS Elemental Analyzer is able to be coupled to an Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer
(IRMS) for the following determinations. See

IMPORTANT Oxygen and hydrogen analyses are performed using the left furnace (high
temperature conversion). Nitrogen, carbon and sulfur analyses are performed using the right
furnace for combustion.

Software Requirements

Thermo Scientific Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer series require the use of the Isodat Software Suite.
In most cases the installation of Isodat Software Suite is sufficient to operate the EA IsoLink IRMS
System for CNSOH. See
Table 3
ATTENTION If you want to operate with the EA IsoLink CNSOH as a stand-alone instrument, you
need to install EagerSmart Data Handling Software on you computer. See
Flash IRMS as Stand-alone Instrument."
