Dear All,

We need to replace our water references, but it 
would seem that SMOW / GISP / SLAP are 
unavailable both from IAEA and from NIST. Last 
time I contacted IAEA I was told that the current 
supply had been exhausted, and although a 
replacement had been procured, it was still 
unavailable for distribution.

NIST's wep page lists these materials as "out of stock".

Will anybody in the list have any information 
regarding the current status of these references? 
We urgently need some!

Related to the above, the IAEA web page lists 
three additional reference waters, namely 
IAEA-B-1, -2 and -3. Well, I'm unable to reach a 
place at IAEA's web page where the oxygen and 
hydrogen isotopic values are listed. Can anybody 
give us the values for these samples? Are these a 
suitable references while SMOW / GISP / SLAP are 
made available?

Thanks,

Clemente
