| Abstract | IP25 is a highly branched isoprenoid lipid biomarker that is produced by some Arctic sea ice diatoms in the spring. The presence of IP25 in marine sediments has previously been used as a proxy measure of past spring sea ice occurrence in the Arctic. Here, a reliable analytical procedure for the reproducible extraction, identification and quantification of IP25 from marine sediments is presented for the first time. This protocol represents a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) that should be straightforward to adopt by other researchers in the future. This paper also explains the significance of individual components and steps, including the internal standards used for quantification of IP25, the purification of sediment extracts to simplify the subsequent analysis and some key analytical considerations, especially when mass spectrometric methods are used for detection and quantification. The application of the SOP is illustrated with the analysis of IP25 in sediment material obtained from two nearby locations in the western region of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA). In the first case (Franklin Bay), sediment material was homogenised and aliquots used to demonstrate the reproducibility of the SOP and to provide a suitable reference material when studying other cores. In the second case (central Amundsen Gulf), IP25 concentrations were shown to be quite variable, consistent with observations reported previously for sediment cores from other regions of the CAA. Further experimental considerations are presented that permit the conversion of sedimentary IP25 concentrations into temporal fluxes that are probably more useful for palaeo sea ice studies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
