Abstract
Abstract We have optimized techniques to measure uranium and thorium isotopic compositions using secondary electron multiplier (SEM) and peak-jumping protocols on a multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (MC-ICP-MS, Thermo Scientific Neptune Plus). This instrument is equipped with an advanced interface pump, X-skimmer cone, Jet sample cone, and desolvating nebulizer system (CETAC Aridus II) that enables overall ionization and transmission efficiency up to 3% for both U and Th. Approximately 50 fg 234U or 230Th can routinely yield a precision of 1–2‰ (2σ) for abundance and isotopic measurements. Non-linear behavior was not observed in the MasCom SEM with a retarding potential quadrupole in our MC-ICP-MS system when the beam intensity was limited to
