Samples analysed by continuous flow isotope ratio mass spectroscopy. 

New in 2024 - our stable isotope analysis services include the following elements:

• Hydrogen ²H 
• Carbon ¹³C 
• Nitrogen ¹⁵N 
• Oxygen ¹⁸O 
• Sulfur ³⁴S 

Typical stable isotope ratio analysis applications include:

• Agriculture – e.g., cellulose, plants, soil, water
• Ecology – e.g., animal tissues, atmospheric carbon dioxide
• Food authenticity – e.g., honey, maple syrup, water or sugar in fruit juice, wine
• Forensics – e.g., organic liquid, organic solid, collagen
• Geochemistry – e.g., brine, carbonate, kerogen, oil fraction, whole oil
• Medicine – e.g., amino acid by decarboxylation, carbon dioxide in breath, bicarbonate in blood, doubly labelled water, total body water (TBW), total energy expenditure (TEE), urea breath test
• Standard calibration

If you have any further analysis requirements not mentioned here, please contact us and we will do everything we can to help you.

• Samples can be analysed in singly or in multiples
• We accept pre-weighed samples, or we offer encapsulation service
• Additional services - drying, grinding, and acidification - are available
• Samples are analysed "as received" unless otherwise specified
• Elemental Lab offers standard and express turnaround on results

Please note that this service is not accredited by UKAS.
