Deuterium in water and organic compounds is usually determined by combustion to water, reduction to hydrogen by heated zinc, and mass spectrometric analysis. The method is modified in such a way that memory effects of the apparatus and isotope fractionation from partial reduction are avoided. The zinc reductant is replaced with a platinum-coated zinc reductant, and the reduction tube is completely redesigned. However, the combustion tube still has a memory effect and hence must be pretreated twice with the sample. (D.L.C.)
