Dear all

Can anyone point me to a publication(s) describing the method for
determining 18O in cellulose?

Elemental analysers can be configured for O determination in organics by
pyrolysis over Ni-C catalysts - has anyone attempted oxygen isotope
analysis by this method of preparation (i.e. He flow- GC-IRMS)?

Regards
