    Bromine Isotope Materials

    Measurements of bromine-isotope ratios began by 1920, and since this time a variety of techniques have been developed. Most investigations focus on volatile organic compounds. Standard Mean Ocean Bromine (SMOB) has been proposed as an international reference material for δ(81Br) measurements.
