6. 2 and reanalyzed. This method provides four replicate analyses for each sample. Standard deviations based on the four replicates of each sample range from 0.01 to 0.05 per mil. The standard deviation (1 σ) of 30 replicate analyses of standard water analyzed at the same time as the pore fluid samples is 0.03 per mil.
