International Chemical Safety Card (ICSC): ICSC_0405_Caffeine
Reference material IAEA-600 is aimed at δ13C calibrations by TC/EA technique; its δ15N is provided for information purpose.
IAEA-600 was prepared by W. Brand and R. Werner, Max-Planck-Institute for Biogeochemistry, Jena, Germany, from commercially produced pure caffeine. Its recommended δ13C value was determined in an international calibration [1]. For this reference material the δ15N value war determined in one laboratory only and therefore is only an information value.
Analyte | Value | Unit | SD | R/I/C |
δ13C | -27.771 | ‰VPDB | 0.043 | C |
δ15N | +1.0 | ‰air N2 | 0.2 | I |
(R/I/C) Classification assigned to the property value for analyte (Recommended/Information/Certified)
