Despite a long history and growing interest in isotopic analyses of N 2 O, there is a lack of isotopically characterized N 2 O isotopic reference materials (standards) to enable normalization and reporting of isotope-delta values. Here we report the isotopic characterization of two pure N 2 O gas reference materials, USGS51 and USGS52, which are now available for laboratory calibration (https://isotopes.usgs.gov/lab/referencematerials.html).
