Continuous flow analysis using an elemental analyzer interfaced with an isotope ratio mass spectrometer (EA-IRMS) is faster and requires much less material than conventional analytical methods. Although using an EA-IRMS is simple and fast, accurate calibration strongly depends on matching sample and reference peak heights by adjusting the sample weight. This paper describes a new modification for calibration using only the major ion beam intensity (nA) without weighing each sample or increasing the number of reference materials.
