Materials with known 13C, 18O, and 7Li isotopic composition
RM 8564, CO2 Gas
Unit Size: 2 x 400 µmol
Price per Unit: 130 €
Date of Release: 1998
RM 8564* was prepared by R. M. Verkouteren, Surface and Microanalysis Science Division, Chemical Science and Technology Laboratory,
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) [1,2]. It was first prepared in 1996 from research grade carbon dioxide (99.995%)
obtained from Scott Speciality Gases. This gas originated from the fermentation of C4 biomass (corn) in a grain distillery in the
Central United States. Its recommended δ13C and δ18O values were determined in international calibration exercises [3,4].
| Analyte | Value | Unit | | R/I/C |
| δ13C | -10.452 | VPDB | 0.040 | C |
| δ18O | +0.2 | VPDB | 0.1 | R |
(R/I/C) Classification assigned to the property value for analyte (Recommended/Information/Certified)
* CO2-Biogenic, modern biomass origin
