DELTA™ Q Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer

The Thermo Scientific™ DELTA™ Q Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer (IRMS) represents the next evolutionary leap forwards in isotope analysis, combining unprecedented performance with an easy-to-use innovative Thermo Scientific™ Qtegra™ Intelligent Scientific Data Solution (ISDS) Software. The DELTA Q IRMS is designed to be seamlessly connected with a wide range of Thermo Scientific™ peripherals, aimed at supporting varying investigations including food authenticity, criminal and environmental forensics, doping control, and scientific research.

Outstanding sensitivity

• Sensitivities up to 800 molecules per CO₂ ion in dual-inlet mode and 1,000 molecules per ion in continuous-flow mode.

Versatility to tackle diverse applications

• Up to 10 collectors in a wide range of configurations, supporting all isotope ratio MS applications in the mass range up to m/z 96.
• Simultaneous mass range up to ±25%.
• Available preconcentrators, elemental analyzers, GC interfaces, LC interfaces, and continuous flow inlets.
• On-line H₂ capability.

Highly robust and reliable design

• Monolithic analyzer with fixed alignment of all ion optical components, including the electromagnet, ensures unprecedented reliability and robustness.
• Integrated signal amplifiers and digitizers eliminate connections for greater reliability.
• Fixed-position ion optics require no alignment during installation or maintenance.
• Optimized pumping strategy enables single-stage turbo pumping for all normal continuous-flow applications.
• Comprehensive, automated diagnostics driven by Qtegra ISDS Software are provided for performance analysis.

Compact and user-friendly design

• Small footprint requires less lab space.
• Space for online peripheral placed on top.
• Dual inlet, μ-volume and multiport are inside and out of the way.
• Continuous flow interfaces can be controlled from the front panel.
• All pumps are located internally for less clutter and noise.

Qtegra ISDS Software

• Dramatically improves your lab productivity with automatic Get Ready functionality, ready-to-go templates and inbuilt quality control tools.
• Carefully optimized intelligent workflows for gas IRMS drive you from sample to result, eliminating any barriers and flexibly switching between different system configurations.
• The Qtegra ISDS Software platform provides a wide range of features, which ensure the utmost integrity and traceability for all of your raw data, metadata, and reported results.

DELTA Q IRMS has ACT label certification
Reduce your lab's environmental impact with the DELTA Q IRMS, recipient of the ACT label from My Green Lab. The ACT Environmental Impact Factor Label is the world's premier eco-label for laboratory products. The program ensures Accountability, Consistency, and Transparency in the reporting of environmental impact data to enable sustainable laboratory procurement. It was designed by both scientists and procurement specialists to provide clear, third-party verified information about the sustainability profile of laboratory products. By providing needed transparency around manufacturing, energy and water use, packaging, and end-of-life impacts, ACT makes it easy to choose environmentally preferable products and reduce the carbon impact of laboratory supply chains.
