Has anyone experienced a problem with introducing too much sample in a continuous flow IRMS application? I have found if I run more than 1 mg total carbon my delta values become more negative and I develop a sharp fore peak on my ion 44 peak. From the amplitude of my ion peaks, 2 to 3 volts, I am not overwhelming my collectors. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
