Analytical effects on clumped isotope thermometry: Comparison of a common sample set analyzed using multiple instruments, types of standards, and standardization windows.

CONCLUSIONS: Our results show that background effects are the largest factor potentially affecting Δ47 results, and there may be an improvement in interlaboratory precision by using carbonate standards. Critically, all techniques utilized for standardizing Δ47 results converge on a common slope as long as background effects are properly corrected. The use of carbonate standards is recommended as a component of standardization procedures. PMID: 31756007 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
