Instrument: Picarro L2130-I deltaD/delta18O Isotopic Water Analyzer

A portable analyser designed for laboratories or field based isotope analysis. It uses Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) to measure the spectral signature of the molecule of interest. The instrument includes a closed-loop temperature and pressure control. The L2130-i can be used in all aspects of the water cycle: water vapor, liquid water, or water trapped in solids. It has a typical precision of 0.25 per mil for d18O and 1.20 per mil for dD in solid samples. Corresponding typical values for liquid samples are 0.011 per mil for d18O and 0.038 per mil for dD.
