Recent batch information Batch 97 certified for total dissolved inorganic carbon and total alkalinity, December 2, 2009. Batches 94, 95, 96, and 98 certified for total dissolved inorganic carbon and total alkalinity, December 10, 2009. Batch 99 has provisional total dissolved inorganic carbon and alkalinty values. Reference materials Certified reference materials (based on natural sea water) are available routinely for total dissolved inorganic carbon and for total alkalinity. Work is in progress to certify these materials for the carbon-13 content of the total dissolved inorganic carbon. Prototype reference materials are available in limited quantities for pH. These are based on Tris buffers in synthetic sea water. If you are interested in obtaining any of these materials, please contact us at co2crms@ucsd.edu DOE Handbook The 1994 DOE Handbook of Methods for the Analysis of the Parameters of the Oceanic Carbon Dioxide System (A. G. Dickson & C. Goyet, editors) is still available from this web-site in PDF format (updated to correct known mistakes). This Handbook was revised in 2007 as a joint project between PICES and IOCCP, and is available from CDIAC.
