d15N and d18O Analysis
This Web-site is organized into five sections: Section I: Described here is a brief overview of the method and its utility. In this overview, two methods are discussed. Method I (Chang et al., 1999), which is suited for samples with nitrate concentrations between 1-20 mM (the Cat AG2X method), and Method II (Silva et al., 2000) which is best suited for samples with higher nitrate concentrations (the AG1X method). Section II: Describes how to collect the sample using either the AG1X (Method I) or Cat AG2X (Method II) approach. If your sample nitrate concentrations span a large range, then you may have to use both of the Method I and Method II collection approaches. Section III: The recovery section describes how to recover and process the samples in the laboratory. Section IV: Here is an example of a sample analysis spreadsheet as well as a link for a blank sample analysis spreadsheet. Section V: This is a poster
which depicts the procedure for the Cat AG2X method (Method II).
