Advancing temperature-differentiated carbon isotope analysis (Ref: SSH-HG-26)

Carbon isotope analysis is a crucial tool for tracing biogeochemical processes, yet effective differentiation of organic and inorganic carbon components often requires targeted pre-treatment, such as acidification or bleaching, to isolate specific carbon pools prior to analysis. Read more
