You could easily deduce from this that I’ve spend way too much time at conferences (I have) but also that I…

Why do isotope ratio mass spectrometers cost so much?
When I talk with people from outside of this industry, and we discuss the products, those people are often amazed at how expensive an isotope ratio mass spectrometer is. They see a complicated-looking thing, mostly made of metal, about the size of a small family car. So they guess it would cost… about the same…

Why is scientific writing often so dull?
The other day I met an actual writer at a bar. And a writer of science fiction and fantasy, no less. As we talked about the possibilities of time travel and quantum entangled goblins (that bit didn’t happen, I’m paraphrasing) it did get me thinking about the paradox that is the difference between creative writing…

What the heck is an abundance sensitivity?
Obviously you know I really mean “what is abundance sensitivity”, as it is not a physical thing but a relative term. As a reader of this blog, it is more than likely that you already have knowledge of analytical instrumentation, and you may well already clearly understand the term abundance sensitivity. There are many wonderful…

Can you use an IRMS to measure the noble gases?
Here at Isotopx we love serendipity, specifically when an existing instrument can be used for a different application that wasn’t considered when the product was first launched. In an earlier blog I briefly mentioned the use of a stable isotope MS (A.K.A. IRMS) for the measurement of noble gas isotopes. It takes a bit of…
