AN30021

Goal: This note describes in-situ U-Pb analysis in zircons by Laser Ablation using Multi-Ion-Counting on the Neptune MC-ICPMS. Four zircons with different ages were used to evaluate the potential of this technique, including 91500, PMA7, CN92 (UQ-Z1) and 5FRATI.

AN30018

Goal: High precision calcium analyses were performed on the Thermo Scientific TRITON in Thermal Ionization mode (TI-MS). This report demonstrates improved internal and external precisions on 40Ca/44Ca of better than 25 ppm (1σ), approaching theoretical limits.

Total Sample Evaporation of 1 ng SRM U350 - Precision and Accuracy by Static Faraday Cup Multicollection

Dietmar Tuttas

Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany

AN30017

Goal: This report described the use of "Total Evaporation" to obtain high precise and accurate U isotope ratio data. During total sample evaporation, a sample is continuously and completely evaporated from the filament. The final results are represented by the averaged isotopic mean values at the end of the analysis, when no measurable amount of sample is left on the filament

High Precision Strontium and Neodymium Isotope Analyses - Static Multiple Ion Collection and Amplifier Rotation

Dietmar Tuttas and Johannes B. Schwieters

Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany

AN30015

Goal: The Thermo Scientific TRITON has specifications for Nd and Sr of < 5 ppm internal and external precision. This note explains how this specification is achieved in static multicollection mode without applying cup factors.
