Technique

Liquid chromatography coupled with isotope ratio mass spectrometry (δ13C)

Applications:

• Detection of compound-specific isotope ratios (δ13C) of dissolved organic acids, or
• Detection of carbon isotope ratios (δ13C) of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), to
  • investigate biogeochemical processes in water ecosystems
  • evaluate origin and fate of biogenic and geogenic organic compounds dissolved in water
