Dear fellow isotope geochemists, Tired of not having a fractionation equation at the tip of your keyboard? The following URL takes you to a web utility that calculates stable isotope (H, C, O, S) fractionation factors at a given temperature. The fractionation factors, about 200 equations, are compiled from previous work published in the literature. It is not exhaustive but it will be updated regularly following your suggestions, and new publications. The computed fractionation factor at the selected temperature is provided with the complete reference and the variables of the fractionation equation. So, bookmark this URL: http://www.ggl.ulaval.ca/cgi-bin/isotope/generisotope.cgi This is the first evolution of this web utility. Your suggestions for improvements are welcomed.
