Abstract
A new approach to mass-spectrometric determination of the combined isotopic composition of methane has been put forward. The approach is based on the preliminary on-line conversion of methane to methanol in corona discharge and selective chemical ionization. The approach provides means to lower requirements for equipment, consumables, and operation conditions and offers a challenge to develop a new field method.
