The novel HTC system coupled to an isotope ratio mass spectrometer resulted in significantly improved sensitivity. The system is suitable for salt-containing liquids and compounds that are resistant to oxidation, and it offers a large concentration range. A second paper (which follows this one in this issue) will present a more comprehensive assessment of the analytical performance with a broad set of solutions and real samples. This highly efficient TOC stable isotopic analyzer will probably open up new possibilities in biogeochemical carbon cycle research.

“…The general topic of water quality sampling programs in rivers has been considered by Dandy and Moore (110). Otson and co-workers (356) concluded that sampling and storage conditions had little effect on total organic carbon levels at moderate concentrations, but contamination could be significant at low levels. Beasley (39) has compared three sampling methods for nonpoint source pollution in forest streams, while McGuire and co-workers (319) have used paired samples to compare sample intake position and loading rates from nonpoint source pollution.…”

As analytical methodology improves and instrumental methods allow, or often require, the use of smaller and smaller analytical test portions, the error in the sampling operations becomes increasingly significant. Also, heterogeneity of trace components can introduce major sampling problems. Sampling errors cannot be controlled by use of blanks, standards, or reference samples and so are best treated independently.
