Nitrogen isotopic analyses by isotope-ratio-monitoring gas chromatography / mass spectrometry [PDF]
Amino acids containing natural-abundance levels of 15N were derivatized and analyzed isotopically using a technique in which individual compounds are separated by gas chromatography, combusted on-line, and the product stream sent directly to an isotope-ratio mass spectrometer. For samples of N2 gas, standard deviations of ratio measurement were better
