Dear Howard,
I'm interested in CO2 gas with both d13C and d18O (PDB) between 0 and 5 per mil for use as a reference gas for carbonate analyses in a MAT 252 with a Kiel Device. We currently use a commercial CO2, quite negative (less than -30 in both d13C and d18O PDB). It causes some linearity issues, but we correct them and does not represent a big problem. But I know it would be better to use a reference gas with similar isotopic values than the samples. I have been considering the marble-H3PO4 option for years. We have a CO2 offline extraction line for microsamples, but we are not able to extract the amount of CO2 we need. This is why your message capture my attention. Could you give me some technical details about your method? It would be great to reproduce it here at our lab.
Thank you very much!
Joaquin

Tema: Re: [ISOGEOCHEM] CO2 gas with d13c around 2 permill?
We routinely make our own reference gas by dissolving carrera marble in H3PO4 and collecting/purifying the CO2 through water traps. It takes a few days but is much cheaper than purchasing gas. Freeze the gas into a stainless steel cylinder that can be manufactured in any metal shop.

We had Air Gas (part of Air Liquide) make us some +2 permil gas (13C) along with other gases. It ended up being 1.8 permil but that works for us.
If you need contact information contact me direct.
We are in Nashville TN so I don’t know if they will ship it to you or not.

Subject: [ISOGEOCHEM] CO2 gas with d13c around 2 permill?
hi all,
does anyone know of a CO2 gas supplier for CO2 with d13C around +2 permill?
At best here in Oz, but any information is very much appreciated.
cheers
Chris
