• Bulk elemental composition of solids: %C and %N
• Bulk isotope analysis of solids: δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N, and δ¹⁸O of Ag₃PO₄ (from bio-apatite)
• Isotope analysis (δ¹³C and δ¹⁸O) of carbonates
• Compound specific isotope analysis of:
  • CO₂: δ¹³C
  • C1-C5 hydrocarbons: δ¹³C and δ²H

• Compound specific isotope analysis of fatty acids as FAMEs: δ¹³C
• Compound specific isotope analysis of hydrocarbons >C5: δ¹³C
• Compound specific isotope analysis of amino acids: δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N
• Analysis of permanent gases (CO₂, CO, CH₄, H₂, O₂) for concentrations (client provides standards and operates the instrument)
• Analysis of hydrocarbons, fatty acids, amino acids for concentrations (client provides standards and operates the instrument)

 Notes:

• Derivatization of lipids (to FAMEs) and amino acids is the client’s responsibility. Lipid derivatization can be done by our colleagues at the OSC Chemical Oceanography | CREAIT Network | ÌÇÐÄÊÓƵ University of Newfoundland. Derivatization of amino acids for a limited number of samples can be considered on a case-by-case basis, but a fee may be applied.
• We can work with you to develop methods for analytes not listed above
