Carbon isotope analysis
Stable carbon isotope testing for dissolved carbon, organic matter and carbonates, supporting carbon-cycle research, source tracing and paleoclimate studies.
What we measure
- Dissolved inorganic carbon: δ¹³C-DIC
- Dissolved organic carbon: δ¹³C-DOC
- Organic carbon in soils, sediments and plant material: δ¹³C
- Carbonates and biogenic shells: δ¹³C and δ¹⁸O
Analytical platforms
EA Isolink–Delta V Plus and Gasbench–MAT 253 Plus isotope ratio mass spectrometry. Preparation methods are selected for each sample matrix.
Data quality
Carbon isotope results are reported relative to VPDB. Reference materials and quality-control measurements support the reported results and measurement uncertainty.
