Elemental analyses of soil and sediment fused with lithium borate using isotope dilution laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-IDMS)

September 2, 2013
Author(s)
John L. Molloy, Julian Malherbe, Fanny Claverie, Aitor Alvarez-Toral, Beatriz Fernandez, Rosario Pereiro
Quantitative analysis using Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) remains challenging primarily due to elemental fractionation effects and to the lack of appropriate standards available for the wide variety of samples of

Fast standard addition method for LA-ICPMS using a spinning platform

February 19, 2013
Author(s)
John L. Molloy, Stephen E. Long, Fanny Claverie, Julian Malherbe, Naomi Bier
A method has been developed for the fast and easy determination of Pb, Sr, Ba, Ni, Cu, and Zn, which are of geological and environmental interest, in solid samples by Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) using a sample

Putting a spin on LA-ICPMS analysis combined with isotope dilution

January 11, 2013
Author(s)
John L. Molloy, Stephen E. Long, Fanny Claverie, Julian Malherbe, Naomi Bier
The determination of Zn, Sr, Ba and Pb in solid samples has been achieved by Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-IDMS) using a spinning sampling platform. The fast rotation of a sample and an isotopically

Certification of NIST SRM 2569 Lead Paint Films for Children's Products

October 15, 2012

John L. Molloy, John R. Sieber, Karen E. Murphy, Stephen E. Long, Stefan D. Leigh
SRM 2569 Lead Paint Films for Children’s Products is a new Standard Reference Material (SRM) developed for use primarily with XRF instrumentation. It consists of three paint coatings, with nominally 0 mg/kg, 90 mg/kg, and 300 mg/kg of Pb added, on

A Guide to Using SRM 2569 to Validate Analytical Methods

May 17, 2012
Author(s)
John R. Sieber, John L. Molloy
A user’s guide is presented for Standard Reference Material (SRM) 2569 Lead in Paint Films for Children’s Products. This SRM consists of paint films on coupons of polyester with the paint characterized for mass fraction of Pb, mass of Pb per unit area

Development and Certification of Green Tea-Containing Standard Reference Materials

November 30, 2011
Author(s)
Lane C. Sander, Mary Bedner, Michael C. Tims, James H. Yen, David L. Duewer, Barbara J. Porter, Steven J. Christopher, Russell D. Day, Stephen E. Long, John L. Molloy, Karen E. Murphy, Brian E. Lang, Rachel A. Lieberman, Laura J. Wood, M. Payne, M. C. Roman, J. M. Betz, A. NguyenPho, Katherine E. Sharpless, Stephen A. Wise
A suite of three green tea-containing Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) has been issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The materials are characterized for catechins, xanthine alkaloids, theanine, and toxic elements. As many

A Statistic That Identifies Errant Standard Preparation and Instrument Non-linearity Demonstrated With Mercury Standards Prepared by Blending NIST Fossil Fuel CRMs of Similar Matrices

November 16, 2009
Author(s)
Bruce S. MacDonald, John L. Molloy, Stefan D. Leigh, William R. Kelly, Andrew L. Rukhin
Interval-repeatability (Ir) is a statistic that users of certified reference materials (CRMs) may employ as a quality control check to identify incorrectly prepared working standards or nonlinear instrument response over a targeted concentration interval

Classification of Microheterogeneity in Solid Samples using mXRF

August 28, 2008
Author(s)
John L. Molloy, John R. Sieber
Micro X-ray Fluorescence (µXRF) has been used to nondestructively investigate elemental heterogeneity by constructing two-dimensional maps of elemental concentrations in reference materials. µXRF allows probing of sample sizes in the microgram and nanogram
