Dead in the Water: The Vicious Cycle of Blanks During Natural Level 14 C Manipulation of Marine Algal Cultures

Dead in the Water: The Vicious Cycle of Blanks During Natural Level 14 C Manipulation of Marine Algal Cultures

Authentic biomarker standards were obtained from algal cultures in an attempt to accurately determine blank C added during sample processing for compound-specific radiocarbon analysis. Emiliania huxleyi and Thalassiosira pseudonana were grown under manipulated Δ14C dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) l...
