Effects of sample volume and salinity on O atom exchange with water
NO3- reference materials (IAEA-NO3 and USGS-34) were diluted with mixtures of DIW and NO3--deplete Sargasso ranging in salinity from 0 to 35 ppt to achieve NO3- concentrations of 1, 3, 5 and 20 µmol L-1 – corresponding to respective injection volumes of 10, 3.3, 2 and 0.5 mL – in order to attain 10 nmoles of N analyte. Reference materials at corresponding salinity and NO3- concentrations were supplemented with 18O-labled water, resulting in δ18OH2O values ranging from -6.8 to 335‰ vs. VSMOW.
