IAEA-C3 cellulose was prepared by W.G. Mook and J. van der Pflicht. The starting material was a batch of cellulose produced in 1989 from one season’s harvest of ca. 40 year old trees. It is intended only for ¹⁴C analyses. The material was homogenized at quantities of 50 gram only. It is therefore not suitable as reference material for stable isotope determinations due to a possible isotopic inhomogeneity for stable isotopic measurements at small analyzed amounts, both within a supplied cellulose sheet and between different samples (For stable isotope applications IAEA-CH-3 cellulose is available). The recommended value of the quality control material is the result of the statistical evaluation of an interlaboratory comparison [1].
