Boron isotopes by femtosecond LA-ICP-MS with application to pH reconstruction in biogenic carbonates
In this study, we explore the capability of our customized UV femtosecond laser ablation system coupled to a Nu Plasma II MC-ICP-MS to determine B isotope composition by investigating standard materials of various matrices and foraminifera and coral samples. Boron isotope ratios were determined on i...
