Functional principle of the
vario ISOTOPE cube
Market-leading accuracy and precision in
EA-IRMS analysis combined with outstanding
exibility and superior ease of use –
a matter of fact with vario ISOTOPE cube. The
instrument can determine samples with even
the most challenging C/N and C/S elemental
ratios of up to 7000:1 and 5000:1, respectively.
This can be achieved thanks to the
Advanced Purge and Trap technology
provided exclusively by Elementar. Combine
the vario ISOTOPE cube with one of our high
performance IRMS systems and raise your
isotope ratio analysis to the next level!
HIGH-TEMPERATURE COMBUSTION
All elemental analyzers from Elementar
are designed for minimal sample
preparation and secure, unattended 24?/?7
operation. They use the safe, simple and
environmental friendly high-temperature
combustion principle. The proven
Elementar furnace technology combined
with efficient oxygen dosing guarantees
quantitative conversion of the sample to
measuring gas – a prerequisite for highly
precise and matrix-independent elemental
and isotope ratio analysis.
ADVANCED PURGE AND TRAP (APT)
Elementar’s proprietary APT technology is a
unique high performance chromatographic
technique for the determination of non-
metal elements. The fractionation-free APT
technology is capable of resolving e.?g. C?/?N
ratios of up to 7000 : 1 and C?/?S ratios of up
to 5000 : 1. The distinct peak separation
assures absolutely reliable and trouble-
free data acquisition. The data analysis can
therefore be easily automated for larger
sample amounts while maintaining highest
possible data quality. Elementar’s unique
APT columns are optimized to provide
unmatched robustness and longevity
compared to GC columns. Furthermore,
they can be loaded up to 250-fold higher,
resulting in outstanding sample flexibility.
Thus, customers enjoy industry-leading
accuracy, sensitivity and versatility.
Outstanding sample flexibility
The large dynamic range of the vario ISOTOPE cube allows
measurement of samples in the low microgram as well as in
the two-digit milligram range. The possible applications range
from testing pure organic material (e.ffig. charcoal) to sediments
with only trace amounts of organic material. Together with its
outstanding precision, the vario ISOTOPE cube is a versatile and
reliable solution for a wide range of sample types.
Operating comfort
The vario ISOTOPE cube is optimized to signifficantly
simplify daily routine operation. Clearly arranged, easily
accessible system components as well as a furnace that
slides out minimize maintenance e?orts. The tool-free
clamp connection system ensures a reliably leak-tight
instrument at any time. Thus customers can enjoy smooth
analyses and conffidence in their results.
Simultaneous CHNS isotope ratio analysis is available via an
optional H
2 conversion kit. For a convenient measurement of
liquid samples the vario ISOTOPE cube can be equipped with
the vario liquid sampler (VLS) for injections directly into the
combustion chamber. Hydrogen isotope ratios in water can
be determined with an optional Chrome HD kit, providing
far better than dual inlet precisions. All optionally available
conversion kits allow upgrading the vario ISOTOPE cube at
any time for special applications.
One instrument for multiple tasks
Thanks to the outstanding robustness and longevity,
all elemental analyzers include a 10 year warranty on
furnace and thermal conductivity detector (TCD) cell. With
the confldence that you will receive the highest level of
technical support from our experienced team, Elementar
provides spare parts for a minimum of 10 years after the
end of production. This results in outstanding low total
cost of ownership and gives customers confldence in
return of investment.

EA-IRMS analysis has never been easier!
RELIABLE RESULTS
The vario ISOTOPE cube guarantees outstanding precision
and accuracy through quantitative combustion via
controlled oxygen jet-injection directly into the active
zone. This leads to matrix-independent results even for
samples which are difficult to combust. In combination
with the state-of-the-art thermal conductivity detector,
the instrument provides an elemental detection limit
of 100?ppm.
QUALITY YOU CAN TRUST
Our consumables and spare parts are designed to
meet the highest quality standards and reliability.
They are certified and validated in accordance with
international norms and standards. We do not
compromise on quality of our parts and chemicals –
this is the prerequisite of a guaranteed long lifetime
of our instruments.
