Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
By diluting samples up to a total weight of 200 μg, reliable AMS measurements can still be performed, and the success rate for targets that are difficult to measure can be significantly improved. A disadvantage of this dilution technique is a loss of measurement precision. In addition, calculations of the ¹â´C/¹²C isotope ratios and the uncertainties therein are not straightforward because of peculiarities in isotope fractionation processes in the AMS system. Therefore, to make sample dilution a routine method in our laboratory, extensive theoretical and experimental research to find the optimum conditions for all relevant parameters was carried out. Reports on the first detailed study dealing with all aspects of sample dilution. As an illustrative test case ¹â´C data for CO2 extracted from an ice core, from which samples of 35 μg C or less are available, is analysed. | ||
