Question 1

What is EIM-IRMS?

Accepted Answer

EIM-IRMS is an isotopic mass spectrometry approach that measures specific isotopic information in molecules or chemical positions, expanding the ability to verify authenticity and origin.

Question 2

What forms of adulteration can be investigated?

Accepted Answer

The solution can support the investigation of exogenous sugar, added water, raw material replacement, improper mixtures and incompatibilities between the isotopic profile and the declared origin.

Question 3

Which samples can be analyzed?

Accepted Answer

The main applications include wines, musts, distillates, honey, juices, sugars, confectionery and other plant-based products with questions of authenticity and traceability.

Question 4

Does the system replace an IRMS spectrometer?

Accepted Answer

No. SG Isotech modules prepare and convert the sample for measurement into a compatible IRMS system, forming an integrated analytical solution.
