The newest approach to measuring denitrification uses a mass spectrometer that can rapidly measure the N2/Ar ratio in water using membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS, Kana et al., 1994, 1998). In this approach, sediment cores are incubated under continuous flow conditions. The N2/Ar ratio is then measured at the inlet and outlet of the core over time. Advantages of the technique are the short incubation times needed (usually less than 12 h), and the high throughput and small sample size ( 5 ml) of MIMS analysis.

Although GC-methods are widely used, they are time-consuming. Rapid, sensitive online methods need to be developed, for which conventional GC techniques are not well suited. If species of interest with similar mass spectra do not need to be separated, membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS) is perfectly adequate and fast.
