Abstract

Correction for ‘Mass-shift mode to quantify low level 129I in environmental samples by ICP-MS/MS’ by Coralie Carrier et al., J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 2022, 37, 1309–1317, https://doi.org/10.1039/D2JA00128D.

Determination of environmental gaseous 129I trapped in charcoal cartridges by ICP-MS/MS

“…Then the limit of detection with this method could be 200 times better than that presented in the previous study [40], 11 mBq. The new limit of detection after a chemical treatment could then reach 2 mBq.…”

“…Na 2 S solution at 0.06 M will be used to eluate iodine from the resin in order to measure 129 I by ICP-MS/MS. b) Improvement of the sensitivity In a previously published work, Tween ® 20 has been used to increase sensitivity and decrease memory effect when measuring iodine by ICP-MS [40].…”

A new milestone for ultra-low 236U/238U isotope ratio measurements by ICP-MS/MS

“…This result is consistent with recent published research using N 2 O in Agilent 8900 ICP-MS/MS. 21 Authors put forward the bigger size of the N 2 O molecule and the loss of analyte by collision. Accordingly, we used O 2 as a reaction gas and the APEX Ω desolvating module to quantify the 236 U/ 238 U isotope ratios in a certified reference solution and environmental samples.…”

An isotope dilution mass spectrometry overview: tips and applications for the measurement of radionuclides

“…The initial amount of 127 I is then quantied with an external calibration. 182 The use of 125 I present in certied NIST SRMs 4407H and 4407L is also mentioned to quantify 129 I by ID because the abundance of 129 I in the CRMs is negligible. 183 5.1.2.7.…”

“…Recent publications present the possibility of measuring 129 I, a very long-life decay product ( t 1/2 = 1.614 × 10 7 years 181 ), by mass spectrometry in environmental samples with a lower LOD than γ-spectrometry. 182 However, even if its long half-life is favorable for MS measurement, its volatility and the numerous interferences can be challenging. Also, an important memory effect of I in ICP-MS has been reported.…”
