WA Organic and Isotope Geochemistry Facility
- Manufacturer: Strata
- Year: 2010
- Building: 500
- Room: 3244
Uses high temperatures and hydrogen pressure to break down macromolecular amenable to GC analysis.
- Mo catalyst assists in breaking down macromolecular organics.
- High hydrogen pressures and dry ice trap prevent isomerisation of fragment molecules.
- Useful for analysis of ancient kerogens and very recent functionalised OM.
