Product Detail
The LC IsoLink is the first high sensitivity interface connecting HPLC with Isotope Ratio MS for the reproducible and accurate on-line determination of 13C/12C isotope ratios. All organic compounds eluting from an HPLC column are analyzed while maintaining the chromatographic resolution. This opens up a whole new world in the application of isotope ratio mass spectrometry.
The LC IsoLink is built to directly address the analysis of polar and thermo-labile compounds. Most of these compounds (such as amino acids, peptides, carbohydrates, nucleotides, alcohols, organic acids, sulfa drugs, and many more) can be chromatographically separated in aqueous phase using inorganic buffers on ion exchange, size exclusion or specific reversed phase HPLC columns. The LC IsoLink enables the on-line high precision determination of the 13C/12C isotope ratio of each separated component.
