Issue 3 has just been published online, so head over to the JAAS homepage to take a look. On this month’s cover, work by Thomas Pettke et al. to determine lead isotope ratios is highlighted.
They present an analytical protocol for measuring isotope ratios on minute analyte quantities by multiple-collector ICP-MS in fast transient signal mode. They say that this has great potential for applications to geochemical, archaeological, environmental and possibly biochemical problems.
