Hello all,

We are having a Thermo EA Isolink (CNSOH) installed on one of our Delta V Advantages. This is to replace a Costech 4010 that died after years of use. I have always used a zero blank AS, but I am wondering if anyone uses an MAS Plus autosampler on their EA/IRMS system. In particular, I am wondering if there would be a high N2 background that affects N isotope results, and also if analyzing H isotopes is problematic using a MAS Plus.

Thanks in advance for any information/advice!

Best,

Dana
