Isotopic analysis of single uranium and plutonium particles by chemical treatment and mass spectrometry

The isotopic composition of single uranium and plutonium particles was measured with an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) and a thermal ionization mass spectrometer (TIMS). Particles deposited on a carbon planchet were first analyzed with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX) attached to a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and then transferred on to a silicon wafer using a manipulator. The particle on the silicon wafer was dissolved with nitric acid and the isotopic ratios of U and Pu were measured with ICP-MS and TIMS. The results obtained by both methods for particles of certified reference materials showed good agreement with the certified values within the expected uncertainty. The measurement uncertainties obtained in this study were similar for both mass spectrometric methods. This study was performed to establish the method of particle analysis with SEM, EDX, the particle manipulation and chemical preparation technique, and the measurement of isotopic ratios of U and Pu in a single particle by mass spectrometry.     

Precise determination of lithium isotopic composition by thermal ionization mass spectrometry in natural samples such as seawater

The isotopic composition of lithium in an NIST SRM 924 Li₂CO₃, isotopically enriched supplied by ORNL and in seawater has been determined by using thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) based on the use of lithium phosphate as the ion source. In order to minimize isotopic fractionation, the ion ratio was measured by using a triple filament technique. The method produces a stable, high intensity Li⁺ ion beam that allows measurement of ng quantities of lithium for several hours. Lithium was separated from sample matrix and further converted to LiOH by employing a two-column ion exchange process. The mass ratio of LiOH to phosphoric acid was nearly stoichiometric in relation to Li₃PO₄. Lithium isotopes in a reference material supplied by NIST (L-SVEC Li₂CO₃) was measured to check the reproducibility of the method. A comparison was made between two TIMS units equipped with different types of detectors (a Faraday cup and a secondary electron multiplier). This highly sensitive technique can be applied to determine isotopic composition of Li in enriched isotopes as well as in the examination of low concentration Li reservoirs.     

The application of isotope dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometry to traceability of chemical measurement and interlaboratory comparisons

In this work, the method of isotope dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometry able to trace to SI was developed to accurately measure trace amount of Cd, Pb, Zn and Cu in sediment, rice, wine, and human serum samples for interlaboratory comparisons. The research focuses on how to apply the primary method correctly, uncertainty evaluation of measurement results, and how to achieve the meaning of traceability to SI by using ID-TIMS. As a result, the measurement results of Cu and Zn in the human serum 1 and 2 with 0.94, 0.83 and 0.49% combined uncertainty, respectively, were accepted by EC-JRC-IRMM as the certified values of the serum samples. The measurement results of Cd and Pb in CCQM-K13 and CCQM-K24 with 3.96, 1.62 and 1.03% combined uncertainty, respectively, are within the degrees of the equivalence. These comparisons at the highest level of measurement are proof that traceability of chemical measurement can be achieved as the traceability chain of ID-TIMS established in this work was used.     

An evaluation of a single-step extraction chromatography separation method for Sm-Nd isotope analysis of micro-samples of silicate rocks by high-sensitivity thermal ionization mass spectrometry

A single-step separation scheme is presented for Sm–Nd radiogenic isotope system on very small samples (1–3 mg) of silicate rock. This method is based on Eichrom^® LN Spec chromatographic material and affords a straightforward separation of Sm–Nd from complex matrix with good purity and satisfactory blank levels, suitable for thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS).This technique, characterized by high efficiency (single-step Sm–Nd separation) and high sensitivity (TIMS on NdO⁺ ion beam), is able to process rapidly (3–4 h), with low procedure blanks (<10 pg) and very small sample (1–3 mg). Replicate measurements by TIMS on ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd ratios and Sm–Nd concentrations are presented for eleven international silicate rock reference materials, spanning a wide range of Sm–Nd contents and bulk compositions. The analytical results show a good agreement with recommended values within ±0.004% for the ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd isotopic ratio and ±2% for Sm–Nd quantification at the 95% confidence level. It is noted that the uncertainty of this method is about 3 times larger than typical precision achievable with two-stage full separation followed by state-of-the-art conventional TIMS using Nd⁺ ion beams which require much larger amounts of Nd. Hence, our single-step separation followed by NdO⁺ ion beam technique is preferred to the analysis for microsamples.     

LC‐MS analysis of estradiol in human serum and endometrial tissue: Comparison of electrospray ionization,atmospheric pressure chemical ionization and atmospheric pressure photoionization

Accurate measurement of estradiol (E2) is important in clinical diagnostics and research. High sensitivity methods are critical for specimens with E2 concentrations at low picomolar levels, such as serum of men, postmenopausal women and children. Achieving the required assay performance with LC–MS is challenging due to the non‐polar structure and low proton affinity of E2. Previous studies suggest that ionization has a major role for the performance of E2 measurement, but comparisons of different ionization techniques for the analysis of clinical samples are not available. In this study, female serum and endometrium tissue samples were used to compare electrospray ionization (ESI), atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) and atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI) in both polarities. APPI was found to have the most potential for E2 analysis, with a quantification limit of 1 fmol on‐column. APCI and ESI could be employed in negative polarity, although being slightly less sensitive than APPI. In the presence of biological background, ESI was found to be highly susceptible to ion suppression, while APCI and APPI were largely unaffected by the sample matrix. Irrespective of the ionization technique, background interferences were observed when using the multiple reaction monitoring transitions commonly employed for E2 (m/z 271 > 159; m/z 255 > 145). These unidentified interferences were most severe in serum samples, varied in intensity between ionization techniques and required efficient chromatographic separation in order to achieve specificity for E2.
