The Waikato Stable Isotope
Unit operates state of the art facilities for measurement of the heavy
isotopes of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. The Unit has two automated
Europa Scientific mass Spectrometers connected to dry combustion
analysers which can handle 150 samples per day. Service is provided
for staff and students interested in tracing these isotopes in natural
systems.
Other services offered by the Unit
are carbon and nitrogen analysis of plant, animal and soil materials.
Samples are received from laboratories around the world for both collaborative
work and for analysis on a commercial basis. Details of services
provided may be obtained by visiting or writing to the Director,
