Water Analyses
δ13C and 14C of Dissolved Inorganic Carbon
δ13C of DIC: Water samples are acidified and analyzed via a Gas Bench and CF-IRMS Sample size: minimum-25 mL, ideal-150 mL. If you require analysis on smaller volumes please contact us.Sample Container: HDPE (plastic) or glass bottle. Plastic is preferred for shipping safety. The sample should not have air included in the bottle.Preservative: Filter the sample with at least a 0.45 micron or smaller pore-size diameter filter. The sample should also be kept on ice to minimize any microbial action. Holding time: If the sample is kept refrigerated, we recommend shipping the sample to us with in two weeks of sampling.Shipping: We recommend the sample be shipped on ice and overnighted to the lab. Please do not ship on a Friday as we only receive sample Monday through Friday.

14C of DIC: Water is acidified and the resulting carbon dioxide is collected and sent to Beta Analytic for AMS analysis. Results are reported in percent modern carbon (pMC). Sample size: minimum-70 mL, ideal-250 mL. If you require analysis on smaller volumes please contact us. Sample Container: HDPE (plastic) or glass bottle. Plastic is preferred for shipping safety. The sample should not have air included in the bottle.Preservative: Filter the sample with at least a 0.45 micron or smaller pore-size diameter filter. The sample should also be kept on ice to prevent any bacterial action.
