A technological development is described through which the stable carbon-, oxygen-, and nonexchangeable hydrogen-isotopic ratios (δ(13)C, δ(18)O, δ(2)H) are determined on a single carbohydrate (cellulose) sample with precision equivalent to conventional techniques (δ(13)C 0.15‰, δ(18)O 0.30‰, δ(2)H 3.0‰). This triple-isotope approach offers significant new research opportunities, most notably in physiology and medicine, isotope biogeochemistry, forensic science, and palaeoclimatology, when isotopic analysis of a common sample is desirable or when sample material is limited.
本文描述了一项技术发展,通过该技术可在单个碳水化合物(纤维素)样品上测定稳定的碳、氧和不可交换氢同位素比值(δ(13)C、δ(18)O、δ(2)H),其精度与传统技术相当(δ(13)C为0.15‰,δ(18)O为0.30‰,δ(2)H为3.0‰)。当需要对常见样品进行同位素分析或样品材料有限时,这种三重同位素方法提供了重要的新研究机会,尤其是在生理学和医学、同位素生物地球化学、法医学和古气候学领域。
