Abstract

The recent development of a novel isotope method, gas chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC-C-IRMS), allows the direct determination of 13C/su12C ratios of any GC-amenable compound occurring at trace levels in very complex mixtures, and thus undoubtedly finds applications in every field aiming at the study of organic substances. This article gives a rapid insight of this technique and discusses several applications in organic geochemistry (sediments, soils).
