Zusammenfassung:An automated sample preparation unit for inorganic nitrogen (SPIN) coupled to a membrane inlet quadrupole mass spectrometer (MIMS) was developed for automated and sensitive determination of the 15N abundances and concentrations of nitrate, nitrite, and ammonium in aqueous solutions without any sample preparation. The minimum N concentration for an accurate determination of the 15N abundance is 7 μmol/L for nitrite and nitrate, with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of repeated measurements of
