The Stable Isotope Laboratory at UC Merced includes two ThermoFisher Delta V Plus isotope ratio mass spectrometers (purchased in 2014) each with Conflo IV interfaces. Both have collectors for measuring hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur isotopes; one of the instruments includes the collectors for measuring 33S and 36S.
Peripheral devices include the TCEA and a GC Isolink with RSH autosampler equipped for carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen isotope measurements, along with a Costech elemental analyzer with a zero blank autosampler.
In addition, the laboratory includes a Sartorius microbalance, freeze drier, muffle furnace, ovens, solvent storage freezer, refrigerator, standard gases, Labconco drying system, and analytical balances.
