International Chemical Safety Card (ICSC): ICSC_0103
The organic reference material is intended for δ18O oxygen isotopic calibrations by using TCEA technique [1]; the δ13C value is given for information purpose only. Use of IAEA-602 for δ13C carbon isotopic analysis by combustion technique is not recommended as it is enriched in 17O and 18O, so its 17O/18O ratio no longer reflects that of natural terrestrial materials [2]. Values [1, 2] are reported on the VSMOW scale and VPDB scale correspondingly.
Analyte | Value | Unit | SD | R/I/C |
δ18O | +71.28 | ‰VSMOW1 | 0.36 | R |
δ13C | -28.85 | ‰VPDB1 | 0.04 | I |
(R/I/C) Classification assigned to the property value for analyte (Recommended/Information/Certified)
[1] VSMOW scale
[2] VPDB scale
