Facility Details

The Pitt-Isotope Tracers Lab, formerly known as the Regional Stable Isotope Lab for Earth and Environmental Science Research, has capacity for a wide variety of isotopic measurements in a multitude of sample media. Our capabilities include:
Nitrate (δ15N, δ18O, D17O);
Greenhouse and trace gases: carbon dioxide (δ13C, δ18O), nitrous oxide (δ15N, δ18O), methane (δ13C);
Nitrogen, carbon, and sulfur (δ15N, δ13C, δ34S) in organic and other solid materials (e.g., biota, soils);
Ammonium (δ15N);
Dry reactive nitrogen deposition (δ15N-NH3, δ15-NO2, and δ15N-HNO3); and
Carbonates (δ13C, δ18O)
