Notes:
We are capable of making measurements via dual inlet. Some of these applications include gases or liquids prepared into sealed quartz tubes.

 Other applications include equilibration of water for δ18O or δ2H . Curently we do not have prices for these applications as we accept them on a case by case basis. If you have a need for this type of analysis please contact us.
