A Case Study of Spectral and Non‐Spectral Interferences on Copper Isotope Measurements by Multi‐Collector ICP‐MS (Wet Plasma)

“…() and Fergusson et al . () support the validity of the mathematical model and confirm that transmission coefficients are important parameters that must be taken into account when explaining experimental data.…”

“…, Fergusson et al . ), Cr hydroxides were more abundant than Cr oxides. Furthermore, the proportion of CrOH was more important in real samples than in the matrix‐free 1 mg l −1 Cr spiked calibrator solution.…”

“…To the knowledge of the authors, the peculiar behaviour of Cr, forming more hydroxides than oxides in the plasma, is only documented by Fergusson et al . (), showing its unique behaviour compared with other transition metal oxides and hydroxides in ICP‐MS. These similar observations by Li et al .…”
