Determination of the Absolute Hydrogen Isotopic Ratio of V‐SMOW and SLAP

Abstract
By mixing 1H2O and 2H2O, both with accurately known purity, samples were prepared with 2H/1H ratios close to those of the international isotopic water standards: V‐SMOW and SLAP. A mass spectrometrical comparison of these calibration samples with the actual water standards revealed: 2H/1H of V‐SMOW = (155.95 ± 0.08) × 10−6 2H/1H of SLAP = (89.12 ± 0.07) × 10−6δ2HV‐SMOW(SLAP) =−428.5 ± 0.5 %
