CRMs provided by Andrew Dickson is used. However, due to sample limitation, secondary standards can be used prepared by members of the QUIMA group.
A fixed and well known volume of about 20 ml of seawater is acidified with phosphoric acid and the produced CO2 is analysed by Coulometric titration.
See for example, González-Dávila et al., 2010: González-Dávila, M., Santana-Casiano, J.M., Rueda, M.J., Llinás, O., 2010. The water column distribution of carbonate system variables at the ESTOC site from 1995 to 2004. Biogeosciences 7, 3067–3081. https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-7-3067-2010
Borosilicate glass bottles of 500 ml (those used for CRMs bottles by Scripps IO) are used. If not analysed on board, after sampling, 100 ul of oversaturated HgCl2 is added and sealed for analysis in the land laboratory a few days later. For analysis, A VINDTA a 3C system with coulometric titrator is used.
