Sturgeon, and Zoltá n Mester Institute for National Measurement Standard, National Research Council Canada, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K1A 0R6A new, discrete sample introduction approach based on laser ablation (LA) is described for the quantitation of several trace metals in aqueous samples by ICPMS. Dried microdroplets of sample, previously mixed with a sodium acetate matrix, were quantitatively ablated from a polystyrene substrate. Calibration via the method of standard additions or isotope dilution provided accurate results for Ni, Cd, and Pb in drinking water and Se in a yeast extract. Compared to conventional solution nebulization, LA sample introduction provided a 2-7-fold enhancement in absolute sensitivity and transport efficiency of 2-14% for the elements examined. Estimated detection limits are 1-7-fold poorer for the dried-droplet LA technique, primari...

“…Pu is electrodeposited under a direct current (300-400 mA cm -2 ) for 2-4 h. Several drops of ammonia are needed to be added to the cell before disconnecting the current in order to stabilize the Pu precipitate on the disk. Detection of Pu on disks after electrodeposition might be also performed by laser-ablation (LA)-ICP-MS [47]. For the source preparation using coprecipitation, fluorides (NdF 3 , LaF 3 , CeF 3 ) or iron hydroxides, as mentioned in the sample pretreatment step, have been employed.…”

A number of analytical methods have been developed in the past decades for environmental monitoring of plutonium (Pu) isotopes around nuclear facilities, emergency preparedness as well as for risk assessment of contaminated areas resulting from nuclear weapon tests, nuclear accidents, and the discharge of nuclear waste. This article summarizes and critically compares recently reported methods for determination of Pu isotopes in waters and environmental solid substrates, in which sample pre-treatment is imperative for separation of the target species from matrix ingredients and/or potentially interfering radionuclides prior to detection by radiometric or mass spectrometric detection techniques. Also discussed, via representative examples, is the automation of the entire analytical protocol by on-line extraction chromatography and ion exchange chromatography using flow injection (FI) or sequential injection (SI) approaches.

Inorganic mass spectrometric methods are powerful multielement analytical techniques for sensitive determination at the trace and ultratrace level, and for isotope ratio measurements in different materials (e.g. conducting, semiconducting, and nonconducting solid samples; technical, environmental, biological, geological, and water samples). An inorganic mass spectrometer consists of the following parts: the ion source for the evaporation, atomization and ionization of samples, the analyzer for the mass (and energy) separation of ion beams which are extracted from the ion source, and the ion detection system. The detection limits of solid‐state mass spectrometric techniques by thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS), glow discharge mass spectrometry (GDMS), laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA‐ICPMS) for the direct analysis of solid samples were determined down to the subnanogram per gram level. Resonance ionization mass spectrometry (RIMS) and accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) are highly sensitive, selective ultrasensitive mass spectrometric techniques with detection limits up to 10 6 atoms. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) has been applied as the most important and sensitive mass spectrometric technique with its multielement capability for the determination of long‐lived radionuclides in solid and aqueous samples, with detection limits at the subpicogram per liter range. Isotope ratios can be determined by ICPMS using single ion collectors and multicollectors with a precision of 0.02% and 0.006% relative standard deviation (RSD), respectively. This review discusses the most important inorganic mass spectrometric techniques and their application for the quantitative determination of long‐lived radionuclides in metals, alloys, and nonconductors, as well as in environmental, biological, and geological samples, and radioactive waste materials. The application of these methods to isotope ratio measurements is also discussed.
