Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a free service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are accessible to all readers and citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article. Note that technical editing may introduce minor changes to the manuscript text and/or graphics which could affect content, and all legal disclaimers and ethical guidelines that apply to the journal pertain.

primarily gas-source isotope ratio mass spectroscopy (IRMS). However, IRMS has drawbacks, such as mass overlap by multiple CO2 isotopologues and contaminants, the requirement of careful sample purification, and use of major instrumentation needing permanent installation and a high power electrical supply. Here we report simultaneous 18O/16O, 13C/12C and 17O/16O analyses for µg-quantities of CaCO3 using a tunable mid-infrared laser absorption spectroscopy (TILDAS) system, which has no mass overlap problem, and yields high sensitivity/precision measurements on small samples, as small as 0.02 micromoles CO2 (equivalent to 2 µg of CaCO3) with standard errors of less than 0.08 ‰ for
