Clumped isotope analysis of (bio)apatite using a Kiel IV device in long-integration dual-inlet mode

CONCLUSIONS: (Bio)apatites having low organic matter content such as enamel(oid) can be analyzed accurately for Δ47 using a Kiel IV equipped with water sinks that ensure effective removal of water. Secondary calcite can be effectively removed from carbonate-bearing apatite by pretreatment with 1 M acetic acid (pH = 5) for 1 h.PMID:37953541 | DOI:10.1002/rcm.9656
