TLDR
In this article, the authors presented new reference values for the NIST SRM 610-617 glasses following ISO guidelines and the International Association of Geoanalysts' protocol, and determined quantitatively possible element inhomogeneities using different test portion masses of 1, 0.1 and 0.02μg.
Abstract
We present new reference values for the NIST SRM 610–617 glasses following ISO guidelines and the International Association of Geoanalysts’ protocol. Uncertainties at the 95% confidence level (CL) have been determined for bulk- and micro-analytical purposes. In contrast to former compilation procedures, this approach delivers data that consider present-day requirements of data quality. New analytical data and the nearly complete data set of the GeoReM database were used for this study. Data quality was checked by the application of the Horwitz function and by a careful investigation of analytical procedures. We have determined quantitatively possible element inhomogeneities using different test portion masses of 1, 0.1 and 0.02 μg. Although avoiding the rim region of the glass wafers, we found moderate inhomogeneities of several chalcophile/siderophile elements and gross inhomogeneities of Ni, Se, Pd and Pt at small test portion masses. The extent of inhomogeneity was included in the determination of uncertainties. While the new reference values agree with the NIST certified values with the one exception of Mn in SRM 610, they typically differ by as much as 10% from the Pearce et al. (1997) values in current use. In a few cases (P, S, Cl, Ta, Re) the discrepancies are even higher. Nous presentons des nouvelles valeurs de reference pour les verres NIST SRM 610–617 en suivant les recommandations de l’ISO et le protocole de l’IAG. Les incertitudes au niveau de confiance de 95% ont ete determinees a des fins d’analyse totale et de micro-analyse. Contrairement aux procedures de compilation precedentes, cette approche fournit des donnees qui tiennent compte des exigences actuelles dans la qualite des donnees. De nouvelles donnees analytiques et le jeu de donnees presque complet de la base de donnees GeoReM ont ete utilises pour cette etude. La qualite des donnees a ete verifiee par l’application de la fonction de Horwitz et par un examen minutieux des procedures analytiques. Nous avons determine quantitativement les possibles inhomogeneites d’element en utilisant des prises d’essai de masses differentes correspondant a 1, 0.1 et 0.02 μg. Bien que nous ayons evite les zones de bordure des disques de verre, nous avons trouve des inhomogeneites moderees pour plusieurs elements chalcophiles/siderophiles et des inhomogeneites flagrantes de Ni, Se, Pd et Pt pour les prises d’essai de petites masses. La mesure d’inhomogeneite a ete incluse dans la determination des incertitudes. Alors que les nouvelles valeurs de reference sont en accord avec les valeurs NIST certifiees a la seule exception du Mn dans SRM 610, elles sont generalement differentes, avec des ecarts de pres de 10%, des valeurs de Pearce et al. (1997) qui sont d’un usage courant. Dans quelques cas (P, S, Cl, Ta, Re), les ecarts sont encore plus eleves.

Apatite Trace Element Compositions: A Robust New Tool for Mineral Exploration

TL;DR: Apatites from the major types of mainly magmatic-hydrothermal mineral deposits (30 localities, mostly in British Columbia, Canada) together with apatites from carbonatites (29 intrusive complexes) and unmineralized rocks (11 localities) have been analyzed by electron microprobe and laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.

An experimental study of trace element partitioning between zircon and melt as a function of oxygen fugacity

TL;DR: In this article, the partitioning of rare earth elements (REE), Hf, Ta, Th and U between zircon and a synthetic andesitic melt was determined as a function of oxygen fugacity ( f O 2 ) over a range of fourteen log units, from QFM−8 to QFM+6 (where QFM is the quartz-fayalite-magnetite oxygen buffer).

Consensus Values and Weighting Factors.

TL;DR: A method is presented for the statistical analysis of sets of data which are assembled from multiple experiments that recognizes the existence of both within group and between group variabilities, and calculates appropriate weighting factors based on the observed variability for each group.
