📄 Abstract（原文）
The stable carbon isotope (δ<sup>13</sup>C<sub>DOC</sub>) of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is one of the most informative tracers for marine carbon cycling studies. Yet its determination is critically constrained by reliance on isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS). Conventional IRMS-based methods require large sample volumes and labor-intensive pretreatment but offer low measurement throughput, significantly limiting their application in field research and high spatiotemporal resolution studies. To resolve these issues, we developed a field-deployable δ<sup>13</sup>C<sub>DOC</sub> analysis method and established an IRMS-independent device by coupling a self-developed ultrahigh-sensitivity mid-infrared tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (MIR-TDLAS) isotope spectrometer with a high-temperature catalytic oxidation (HTC) module, enabling a continuous “injection-oxidation-analysis” workflow on a single platform. Integrated with hardware enhancements and a physical-model-based spectral processing algorithm, the device achieved an approximately 100-fold improvement in sensitivity for both <sup>12</sup>CO<sub>2</sub> and <sup>13</sup>CO<sub>2</sub>, yielding detection limits of 3.98 ppbv and 70 pptv, respectively. This performance enabled quantification of isotope signals from ppmv-level CO<sub>2</sub> without any CO<sub>2</sub> trapping or enrichment. Only 300 μL of seawater was required to determine δ<sup>13</sup>C<sub>DOC</sub> within approximately 6 min, providing a δ<sup>13</sup>C precision of ∼1.0‰. A measurement deviation of less than 0.336‰ was achieved using an empirical correction model developed to correct concentration-dependent isotopic bias. By demonstrating its rapidness, precision, and portability, this laser absorption spectroscopy-based method establishes a novel approach for high-throughput and field-deployable DOC carbon isotope analysis.
