Deep-Sea DOM Reference Material

Deep-Sea DOM Reference Material

DOM isolated from North Equatorial Pacific Intermediate Water (NEqPIW)

We share this marine DOM reference material with our scientific community.

Aliquots of 1 mg DOM (0.44 mg C) can be purchased for approximately €25.
Enquiries should be adressed to
Jeffrey Hawkes’ Group at Uppsala University. Here, you can also purchase a second marine DOM reference material (Tjärnö Marine Reference DOM) offered by Jeff Hawkes’ Group. Link for enquiries
