Calcium and potassium isotopes analyses using the Neoma MC-ICP-MS with and without the MS/MS option: benefits and limitations

Résumé

Precise isotopic ratios of potassium using MC-ICP-MS requires addressing the major isobaric interferences related to Ar plasma, 38ArH on 39K and 40ArH on 41K. Reduction of these argide interferences can be achieved using cold plasma and/or wet plasma with extra-high mass resolution [1, 2]. High precision analyses of calcium isotopic ratios can be obtained using MC-ICP-MS focusing on the measurement of 42Ca, 43Ca and 44Ca only, 40Ca being not measurable due to the overwhelming presence of plasma 40Ar. Samples must be analyzed in the medium or high-resolution mode to resolve argide isobaric interferences such as 40ArH2 on 42Ca. For both elements, measurements therefore require high analyte concentrations (~ 1 µg/ml) limiting the interest for depleted or small size samples. The recent new generation of MC-ICP-MS equipped with collision cell capability allows high-precision measurements of calcium (even 40Ca) and potassium isotopic ratios at lower analyte concentration (~100 ng/ml) using the Thermofisher Scientific Proteus [3, 4] or the Nu Instrument Sapphire [5-9]. In this work, we will present results of calcium and potassium isotopic ratios using the new Neoma MC-ICP-MS (Thermofisher Scientific) instrument with different configurations. The collision cell MS/MS capabilities of the Neoma will be compared to conventional MC-ICP-MS analysis without using the MS/MS option. The sensitivity, the influence of acid molarity concentration, the matrix effect and concentration mismatch between sample and standard will be evaluated. Precision and accuracy of calcium and potassium isotopic ratios will be assessed according to the operating conditions. In comparison with literature studies obtained from others collision-cell MC-ICP-MS, the performances, the benefits and the limitations of different configurations will be discussed. [1] Gu et al.
