Sulfur isotope analysis

Sulfur and oxygen isotope measurements in sulfate and total sulfur for environmental tracing, sulfur-cycle research and ore-deposit studies.

What we measure

  • Sulfate in water and minerals: δ³⁴S
  • Sulfate oxygen isotopes: δ¹⁸O
  • Total sulfur in soils, sediments and minerals: δ³⁴S

Analytical methods

Sulfate separation and preparation, followed by elemental analysis or high-temperature conversion coupled to isotope ratio mass spectrometry.

Reporting

Sulfur isotope values are reported relative to VCDT, with method information and measurement uncertainty.
