Abstract

We present a novel approach for nitrogen (δ15N) and oxygen (δ18O) isotopic analysis of nitrate in water based on the isotopic analysis of N2O produced from the conversion of NO3– by cultured denitrifying bacteria and off-axis integrated cavity output spectroscopy (OA-ICOS). The headspace N2O was manually injected into an OA-ICOS isotopic N2O laser analyzer through a syringe septum port. Sample analysis time was ∼300 s. The use of OA-ICOS technology yields accurate and precise δ15N and δ18O results for dissolved nitrate samples when nonlinearity issues are considered. This new isotope analytical technique thus improves the isotopic analysis of nitrates by (i) providing accurate measurements of δ15N and δ18O without preconcentration, (ii) eliminating interferences by other gas substances (i.e., H2O and CO2), and (iii) reducing extensive maintenance and costs of isotope ratio mass spectrometers (IRMS). This approach will greatly streamline the identification and quantification of nitrate sources in aquatic systems.
