Abstract

In order to verify that measurements of the 15N2 atom% of dissolved N2 gas samples effectuated by Membrane Inlet Mass Spectrometry are accurate, we developed a specific protocol to prepare dissolved 15N2 gas standards. We detail the protocol herein, and report representative MIMS measurements of the prepared standards.
