Tutorial Review

Use of single-collector and multi-collector ICP-mass spectrometry for isotopic analysis
Frank Vanhaecke, Lieve Balcaen and Dmitry Malinovsky,  J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 2009, 24, 863
DOI: 10.1039/b903887f

graphical abstract image (ID: b903887f)

This tutorial review describes the use of single-collector and multi-collector ICPMS for measuring induced and natural variation in isotope ratios. Applications relying on induced changes include isotope dilution, tracer experiments with stable isotopes and nuclear applications. The origin of natural variations is explained and it is demonstrated how quantifying these can provide useful information in a variety of contexts.
