25 Published Papers using Sapphire Collision/Reaction Cell

We are delighted to announce 25 peer-reviewed publications using the Sapphire Collision/Reaction Cell.


Nu Instruments would like to congratulate our Sapphire users for achieving this great milestone. We are delighted to see our users pushing the boundaries of isotope research and producing such high quality data using our instruments. 


We look forward to continuing to work with you to find novel Collision/Reaction Cell approaches for more isotope systems in the upcoming months and years. Many interesting projects are already in the works and we are excited to be able to highlight them.
