Samples analysed by continuous flow isotope ratio mass spectroscopy. 

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

• Hydrogen 2H (solid and liquid samples)
• Carbon 13C (solid, liquid, and gas samples)
• Nitrogen 15N (solid and gas samples)
• Oxygen 18O (solid and liquid samples)
• Sulfur 34S (solid samples)

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 duplicate or singly
• Samples are analysed "as received"
• Results within 5 working days from receipt of sample

Please note that this service is not accredited by UKAS.
