Zinc isotope discrimination effect in inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer

Takenobu Suzuki, C. Kanzaki, Masao Nomura, Y. Fujii

Abstract

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) has recently been used for isotope ratio analysis. The isotope discrimination effect in the mass spectrometer is a primary factor contributing to loss of precision and accuracy in isotope ratio analysis. The discrimination effect of zinc isotopes was investigated by comparing the results obtained using a quadrupole type ICPMS with those obtained using a thermal ionization mass spectrometer.
