“…According to the theory of DSSA and an optimal ratio of 111 Cd spike(spk) / 112 Cd sample(spl) provided by Tan et al 8 the recommended mixing range of the 111 Cd spk / 112 Cd spl was 2–6. 8,44 For Münster-mixed solutions, a δ 114/110 Cd of 0.489 ± 0.015‰ (2SD) (named Std1 Mu , P standard(std) = 4.132) was achieved by mixing 10.40% Münster Cd and 89.60% of NIST 3108 ( 111 Cd spk / 112 Cd spl = 4.621), and a δ 114/110 Cd value of 0.283 ± 0.021‰ (named Std2 Mu , P std = 2.066) was obtained by mixing 5.21% Münster Cd and 94.79% NIST 3108 ( 111 Cd spk / 112 Cd spl = 2.180). For Spex-mixed solutions, similar procedures were conducted.…”
