Multi-element analysis by isotope dilution-spark source mass spectrometry (ID-SSMS)

  • 1. Max-Planck-Institut fuer Chemie (Otto-Hahn-Institut), Mainz (Germany, F.R.)

Description

Isotope dilutions-spark source mass spectrometry (ID-SSMS) has been applied for the simultaneous quantitative determination of about 35 trace elements in rock samples. A precision and an accuracy of better than 5% is obtained for most elements. Concentrations down to 0.01-0.1 ppm can be precisely determined for many trace elements. The application of ID-SSMS in geochemical and cosmochemical research is particularly interesting when concentrations of many elements are desired (e.g. for element correlations) and low detection limits are needed, or when only small amounts of samples are available.
