For the Hawaii Ocean Experiment (HOE) Legacy 2A cruise aboard the Kilo Moana in the north Pacific Ocean, the carbon and nitrogen content of particulate material (PC, PN) was collected by semi-automated and sequential filtration of the ship’s underway flow through seawater onto a combusted GFF filter. Following filtration, filters were folded in half and placed in combusted aluminum foil and stored at -80°C for later analysis. Post-cruise, all filters were thawed and dried overnight at 60°C. Samples were then balled into Ag and Sn boats and plated for analysis. Organic carbon and total nitrogen content was analyzed using high-temperature combustion (1020 C) on a ThermoQuest NC 2500 elemental analyzer. Three standards with known %C and %N were weighed, folded in tin boats, and analyzed with the samples to develop the calibration equation for each run. The calibration equation was then used to calculate the mass (mg) of carbon and nitrogen in each sample using EAS Clarity Chromatography Station software. The standards are Cystine (Elemental Microanalysis, B2035, 11.66 %TN, 29.99 %TC), Atropine (Elemental Microanalysis, B2002, 4.84 %TN, 70.56%TC), and GoniLab Secondary Standard (low %C)-A1 (an internal standard of sediment from the Gulf of Mexico, MV0803, with low carbon - 0.12 %N, 1.3 %C).
