Photo Gallery: Isolating organic compounds from blubber
As part of a project to determine the sources of halogenated organic compounds in marine mammals, we started in 2003 to isolate several suspected compounds from 5 to 10 kg of blubber for radiocarbon analysis. Because of the large amounts of blubber involved in this work, much of the laboratory work had to be scaled-up from routine methods. This work is supported by the National Science Foundation (OCE-0550486)
