Comparing Dual Water Equilibration Methods for Hydrogen Stable Isotope Analysis of Plant Carbohydrates and Proteinaceous Animal Samples
Different equilibration methods can give reproducible yet distinct results. This is due to varying degrees to which different methods access non-carbon-bound hydrogen that is difficult to liberate from interior hydrogen bonds in complex biological structures such as cellulose or keratins. The optimal method depends on the application.
