Stable isotope ratio
Improving the accuracy of your stable isotopic measurement
The dependence of stable isotopic analyses in geochemistry and environmental measurements is steadily increasing. However, the ability to compare measurements between laboratories can be quite challenging owing to differences in measurement and calibration (standards, equipments and methods).
The key to obtaining reliable data is by designing experiments which utilize sampling methodologies that represent the environment intended for the study and meet the data-quality objectives. These samples in turn must then be calibrated against suitable reference materials containing low levels of uncertainty.
The precision and accuracy of the analytical result is directly related to the precision and accuracy of the standards used to calibrate the analytical instrument.
Results, Conclusions and recommendations from these studies will be presented during the Webinar.
