Triple oxygen stable isotope analysis of nitrite measured using continuous flow isotope ratio mass spectrometry [PDF]
Oxygen stable isotopes (i.e., 16O, 17O, 18O) of nitrite (NO2−) are useful for investigating chemical processes and sources contributing to this important environmental contaminant and nutrient. However, it remains difficult to quantify the oxygen isotope

Stable Isotope Analysis of Residual Pesticides via High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Elemental Analyzer–Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry [PDF]
To broaden the range of measurable pesticides for stable isotope analysis (SIA), we tested whether SIA of the anthranilic diamides cyantraniliprole (CYN) and chlorantraniliprole (CHL) can be achieved under elemental analyzer/isotope ratio mass ...

Tree xylem water isotope analysis by Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry and laser spectrometry: A dataset to explore tree response to drought [PDF]
Water isotopes from plant xylem and surrounding environment are increasingly used in eco-hydrological studies. Carrière et al. [1] analyzed a dataset of water isotopes in (i) the xylem of three different tree species, (ii) the surrounding soil and ...

Isotope ratio mass spectrometry and spectroscopic techniques for microplastics characterization. [PDF]
Micro- and nano-scale plastic particles in the environment result from their direct release and degradation of larger plastic debris. Relative to macro-sized plastics, these small particles are of special concern due to their potential impact on marine, freshwater, and terrestrial systems.

Forensic investigation of falsified antimalarials using isotope ratio mass spectrometry: a pilot investigation [PDF]
We explored whether isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) is useful to investigate the origin of falsified antimalarials. Forty-four falsified and genuine antimalarial samples (artesunate, artemether-lumefantrine, dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine and ...
