| Abstract | A combined system consisting of a TOC analyser connected to a quadrupole MS was recently described as a way of measuring the N content and the 15N abundance of total dissolved nitrogen in aqueous samples. This work examines whether this combination of instruments can also be used for the 13C determination of the total dissolved carbon in aqueous samples. A level of precision good for 13C-enriched samples was achieved with a relative standard deviation of <3%. By using an isotope ratio MS instead of the quadrupole MS employed here, TOC-MS coupling also ought to be suitable for determining natural 13C abundances. |
