Caution on the use of liquid nitrogen traps in stable hydrogen isotope-ratio mass spectrometry
Tyler B. Coplen, Haiping Qi
2010, Analytical Chemistry (82) 7849-7851
An anomalous stable hydrogen isotopic fractionation of 4 ‰ in gaseous hydrogen has been correlated with the process of adding liquid nitrogen (LN2) to top off the dewar of a stainless-steel water trap on a gaseous hydrogen-water platinum equilibration system. Although the cause of this isotopic fractionation is unknown, its...
