A blind comparison on Pb-isotope delta-scale measurements by MC-ICPMS of 0.01 parts per thousand to 0.1 parts per thousand level was organised, involving five laboratories. Test samples were obtained from the series of candidate ERM-3810 delta-isotopic Certified Reference Materials (delta-iCRMs), and comprise four pairs of a material with similar to natural Pb-isotopic composition ('delta zero' or 'delta-0') and the same natural Pb progressively enriched in Pb-207 (with delta Pb-207 values certified to similar to 0.1% relative uncertainty, k = 2). Participants were free to apply the measurement strategy of their choice. A result was considered 'acceptable' only when, simultaneously, there was agreement within stated uncertainties with the corresponding... |
