Pb isotopic analysis of standards using a 207Pb-204Pb double spike and thallium to correct for mass bias with a double focusing MC-ICP-MS
A Pb isotope analytical method using a Pb-207-Pb-204 double spike (DS) and a double-focusing MC-ICP-MS routinely yields standard and sample data with an external reproducibility <100 ppm for all Pb isotope ratios. With modest increases in analysis times (<10 min), external reproducibility of :...
