EA-IRMS: Tracing the geographical origin of coffee using isotope fingerprints

Maryam Weigt, Christopher Brodie and Oliver Kracht

Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany

AN30418

Goal: In this application note we show hydrogen and oxygen stable isotope measurements on roasted coffee samples measured with the Thermo Scientific™ EA IsoLink™ IRMS System. We were able to trace the origin of coffee beans based on unique trends observed from their isotopic fingerprints.

The power of stable isotope analysis

HJ Jost

Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany

Spectroscopy Online

Goal: Identifying the origin of CO2 in various samples is a major challenge for environmental scientists, regulators and the industry. Different emission sources create CO2 with different isotopic signatures. The Delta Ray Isotope Ratio Infrared Specometer is a powerful instrument for field CO2 monitoring and analysis.
