| Abstract: | The stable isotope dilution technique using solid source mass spectrometry is described. The method is capable of high sensitivity, and can yield accurate determinations of elements in trace quantities. The method enjoys freedom from interference effects and systematic errors, and because of its high absolute accuracy it is ideal for the determination of trace elements in geochemical reference samples. A compilation of isotope dilution analyses on ten trace elements in a number of international standard rock samples carried out at the Western Australian Institute of Technology is presented. |
