微量試料での炭素窒素安定同位体比を測定可能とする連続フロー型元素分析計連結式安定同位体比質量分析計(EA-IRMS)への改良について検討を行った。通常使用されている反応管の口径を小さくするなどの簡易的な改良を実施することで,通常の約1/5の試料量(約6 µg窒素,10 µg炭素)で十分な精度と確度を得られることが明らかとなった。

Analysis of carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios are now popular among many study fields mainly due to the development of EA-IRMS. It is difficult to run the tiny samples or the samples with low carbon or nitrogen concentrations with the normal EA-IRMS setting. Here we introduce the modification of EA-IRMS for the tiny samples. The analytical system with the narrow oxidation and reduction tubes allows better peak shapes for carbon and nitrogen, which increases the sensitivity of EA-IRMS. This system is now available for the users in Center for Ecological Research, Kyoto University without any big troubles in the analysis. Because the modification introduced here is not so complicated and the users can also use the normal settings whenever required, many EA-IRMS users can apply this system relatively easily.

Key words: carbon isotope ratio; nitrogen isotope ratio; elemental analyzer-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (EA-IRMS); stable isotope analysis
