ThermoFinnigan DeltaPlus XP with GasBench:
Samples:  Headspace gases, whatever we can measure and you have a reference gas available (within reason)  
    Air
    Breath
    CO2-water equilibration (0.3%CO2 in He available)
    Carbonates (automatic phosphoric acid addition)
    DIC (acidify, equilibrate, measure)
    DOC (if you can oxidize it, you can try to measure it)
Sizes:  Standard 10-12 mL exetainer tubes used
    Sample loop size, 100 uL; 10x dilution set up
    50-200 ug Carbonate samples
    500-700 uL samples for DIC
    200-500 uL water sample for CO2-equilibration
Stuff:  GasBench II
    Thermostated sample tray (26oC)
    CTC Pal Autosampler
    Acid Pump
    0.3% CO2 in He for CO2-water equilibration
    Flushing needles
Availability:  Coordinate with TC/EA work
    Hands on work required
    Autosampler can be run without computer control, e.g. flushing tubes.
    Equilibration temperatures may change
