In this research work, the suitable experimental conditions for surface and loess sample measurement were chiefly ascertained. Further more, the negative influences in soil measurement,such as sample's uncompleted reaction, baseline excursion and the decline of oxidation capacity were stressed. The results show that the measurement precision of nitrogen isotopes can be hold less than ±0. 3‰, with Cr2O3/Co3O4Ag Oxidation Furnace, 80-90mL/min for Carrier-He flowrate, 80kPa for Conflo-He pressure and 100mL/min for Oxygen injection.展开更多

Unlike hydrocarbons, amino acids require derivatization prior to GC-C-IRMS analysis. Replicate carbon isotope analyses of trifluoroacetyl isopropyl ester derivatives of 17 amino acids by IRMS revealed that the derivatization process is reproducible. Due to a reproducible isotopic fractionation an empirical correction factor for each individual amino acid is derived separately for derivatives and the original δ^13C value of the underivatized amino acid is calculated.展开更多
