“Difficult” Isotopes
Argides (Ar, ArN, ArO, ArC) are Isobaric with transition metals and Calcium.
40Ar-40Ca ArN-54Fe ArO-56Fe ArC-52Cr

High Resolution Instruments.
Maximum resolution 10-15,000. Increased resolution reduces transmission.
(<5% at maximum resolution). High resolution produces peak shapes without
flat tops. Compromises precision of isotope ratios when peak jumping.
Single collector systems, so peak jumping necessary.

ICP Multicollectors
Low resolution (400). Large peak flat and multicollection produce
<10ppm precisions. Cannot resolve argides to do multicollection at
high resolution. Can have one collector (axial) with adjustable
slits to go up to 3000 resolution.

HEXAPOLE ICPMS
Hexapole collision cell removes argides, by colliding the argide molecules from the plasma, with an inert gas in the cell at room temperature.
Charge transfer with H in the hexapole can also neutralise Ar+.
Collisions in the cell reduces ion energy spread from plasma <1 volt, to allow single focusing magnetic sector.

Mass Bias
ICP-MS has little or no time dependent mass fractionation, unlike TIMS.
ICP-MS has a mass dependent mass bias which increases with decreasing mass.
Elements of similar mass have similar mass bias.
Fractionation correction with a different element is possible.

IsoProbe Mass Bias Response
All elements fall on the same mass response curve.
If Argon or Argides were present this relationship would not occur.
The mass bias response is not effected by the type of gas in the collision cell. It must be created by fractionation across sample/skimmer cones

Mass Bias Correction
It is possible to correct for mass bias of one element with a different element.
Pb-Tl
U-Tl
Fe-CuAccuracy requires precise understanding of the
isotope ratio of the normalising element, and no isobaric interferences.

Conclusions
Argides are removed by the hexapole.
Argon is removed to allow 40Ca measurements.
High precision Fe isotope ratios can be obtained at low resolution by normalisation with Cu.
