Instrument Description:

The Isotope-ratio Mass Spectrometer is a particular type of mass spectrometer used to measure the relative abundance of isotopes in a given sample (e.g. VG Prism II Isotope Ratio Mass-Spectrometer).

PI supplied instrument name: Thermo Scientific Flash IRMS Elemental Analyzer with EA Isolink
Dataset-specific description

δ15N of biomass collected on GF/Fs was analyzed on a Thermo Scientific Flash IRMS Elemental Analyzer with EA Isolink, coupled to a Delta V Advantage IRMS through a Conflo IV universal interface. Sample δ15N values were calculated using in-house laboratory standards as well as standard reference materials USGS40 and USGS41a.
