Stable Isotope Lab
The 深夜看片 Stable Isotope Lab (USFSIL) provides stable C, H, O, N, and S isotope analyses of both organic and inorganic samples to researchers from geology, anthropology, biology, geography, and more. We commonly analyze:
- 未13C and 未18O of carbonates (including shells, corals, limestone, speleothems, soil carbonates, and bioapatite)
- 未18O and 未D of waters
- 未13C of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC)
- 未13C of atmospheric and soil CO2
- 未13C, 未15N, %C, and %N of organics (including collagen, tissue, soil, and plant material)
- 未34S of sulfates (solid and solution)
- 未34S of sulfides
- 未34S of organics
- 未18O of enamel phosphate
- 未D of volcanic glasses
We are currently developing procedures to analyze:
- 未18O, 未D, %O, and %H of organics
- 未18O of sulfates
For more information about the lab and specific analyses please feel free to contact Dr. Anthony Menicucci.
