  • Clumped Isotopes

13C18O16O in air

John M. Eiler, Edwin Schauble and Nami Kitchen

CalTech, USA

Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (2003), V67 (18), ppA86-A86, ISSN 0016-7037

Goal: The atmospheric budget of CO2 is constrained by its concentration, δ13C and δ18O. However, these are insufficient to resolve source and sink processes, which vary complexly in flux and/or isotope signature. There are twelve stable isotopologues of CO2, each of which has unique thermodynamic and kinetic properties and could offer unique constraints on the budget.

Simultaneous δ15N, δ13C and δ34S measurements of lowbiomass samples using a technically advanced high sensitivity elemental analyzer connected to an isotope ratio mass spectrometer

T. Hansen, A. Burmeister and U. Sommer

Leibniz-Institute for Marine Sciences at Kiel University, Dusternbrooker Weg 20, 24105 Kiel, Germany

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry (2009), V23, pp3387–3393, doi: 10.1002/rcm.4267

Goal: Conventional simultaneous CNS stable isotope abundance measurements of solid samples usually require high sample amounts, up to 1mg carbon, to achieve exact analytical results. This rarely used application is often impaired by high C:S element ratios when organic samples are analyzed and problems such as incomplete conversion into sulphur dioxide occur during analysis. We introduce, as a technical innovation, a high sensitivity elemental analyzer coupled to a conventional isotope ratio mass spectrometer, with which CNS-stable isotope ratios can be determined simultaneously in samples with low carbon content (<40mg C corresponding to ca. 100mg dry weight).
