Welcome to the Stable Isotope Facility!

      The Stable Isotope Facility is located in the Berry Biodiversity Conservation Center, where there has been a laboratory designed specifically for an isotope facility.  The facility is equipped with two Finnigan Delta+XP and a Delta V continuous flow inlet Stable Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometers (IRMS).  All instruments are configured for the analysis of H, C, N, and O. These mass spectrometers are connected to eight different peripheral devices, helping to meet the growing demands of researchers and students on campus. A laser based Liquid Water Isotope Analyzer from Los Gatos Research and a Picarro analyzer are used for isotopic  measurements of H and O of waters.  The laboratory provides many sample prep devices including vacuum extraction lines, micro balances, ovens, centrifuge, freeze dryer, and grinders for users on campus.  The newest additions to the facility are a GC in-line with a quadrupole mass spec and a GC-C isotope ratio mass spectrometer(Delta V) for exploring compound specific work.  This instrumentation is available to qualified University of Wyoming researchers.  UWSIF DOES NOT perform these analyses.
