Sample preparation and stable isotopes of many different kinds of samples
Sample types
Many different types of samples can be analysed, some examples:
- Sugar, xylitol, honey
- Urea (solutions)
- Flour
- Nuts
- Apple, tomato, etc.
Please contact us for the possibilities.
Sample preparation
For stable isotope analysis of solid samples, the samples needs to be dry, fine, homogeneous powders. If samples are not delivered as such, some sample preperation could be necessary:
- Extraction
- Drying
- Centrifuging
- Milling
- Etc.
Bulk isotopes
Bulk isotope analysis can be performed on solids or liquids. The following isotopes can be analysed:
- Carbon isotopes
- Hydrogen isotopes
- Nitrogen isotopes
here you can find some introduction on stable isotopes
