Gas chromatography coupled with Isotope Ratio MS (GC-IRMS) has entered into widespread applications like environmental studies and forensics enabling compound specific isotope analysis (CSIA). Isotopic fingerprints analyzed by GC-IRMS may still provide information where classical GC/MS methods based on compound quantitation cannot. The potential of using CSIA for source differentiation of environmental polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has already been demonstrated.
