Continuously improving ICP-MS and IRMS techniques steadily allow smaller sample sizes, higher spatial resolution and the investigation of unconventional isotopes or isotopologues (e.g., ∆48 in carbonates and CO2). These technical advances pose new challenges in sample preparation, handling, analytical procedures, data evaluation and upscaling.
We welcome all contributions that address novel aspects in the use of ICP-MS or IRMS systems, e.g., unconventional isotope systems, high-resolution studies, or the quest for high precision and accuracy, but are not limited to those examples.
