I have spent the last 2 weeks here in Kuopio dancing attendance upon an analytical machine by the name of a GC-IRMS. This stands for Gas Chromatograph Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer. I’m just gonna call it the IRMS from here on out. The IRMS is the machine that analyzes the isotopic signature of various compounds, and it does this thanks to a really big, really fancy magnet.
