“…The data acquisition parameters of the mass spectrometer used: integration time 0.9 s per channel or 2.7 s per m/z (3 channels out of 20 available were monitored). Monitored masses (natural isotopic abundance, %): 27 Al (100%), 45 Sc-internal standard abbreviated ISTD (100%), 47 Ti (7.44%), 48 Ti (73.22%), 64 Zn (48.63%), 66 Zn (27.90%), 66 Zn(18.75%), 89 Y-ISTD (100%), 209 Bi-ISTD (100%). Calibration standards were acquired to represent the calibration curves for each isotope (6 concentrations per element: 0.0001%, 0.001%, 0.01%, 0.1%, 1%, and 10% of the spike concentration, in order, from the most diluted calibration standard to the most concentrated one.…”
