We evaluated the influence of various factors on the precision and accuracy of an equilibration technique in which aqueous samples are equilibrated with CO<sub>2</sub> in evacuated blood collection tubes, Vacutainers<sup>™</sup>. Using 10 mL Vacutainers with degassed rubber septa, 1 mL water samples equilibrated in an atmosphere of CO<sub>2</sub> after 16 h on an orbital shaker. δ<sup>18</sup>O values became more variable when the sample volume was reduced to 0.25 mL. Varying the evacuation time for the tubes prior to filling with CO<sub>2</sub> between 15 and 75 s had no marked influence on the results. Similarly, sonicating the water samples during this process to remove dissolved gases also had little effect. Bubbling air or CO<sub>2</sub> through the samples prior to analysis led to a reduction in the <sup>18</sup>O content of enriched water samples due to the introduction of <sup>16</sup>O; however, N<sub>2</sub> had no effect on the δ<sup>18</sup>O values. Memory effects between samples and instrumental drift were detected with large changes in enrichment (up to 140‰) during mass spectrometric analysis. An analytical procedure and calculations are presented, which in conjunction with two reference waters, may be used to remove these drift effects. This procedure coupled with suggested sample analysis sequences minimizes the influence of memory and allows precision to be optimized. Even in the absence of these precautions, analytical precision on water with δ<sup>18</sup>O<sub>V-SMOW</sub> content of +30‰ was <em>ca</em> ±0.1‰, and at +175‰ was ±0.37‰, comparable to other <sup>18</sup>O equilibration methods.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":14288,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Radiation Applications and Instrumentation.
