The key metric in judging this fitness for purpose, and hence validating a measurement procedure, is the uncertainty of each measurement value. This measurement uncertainty is explained, together with methods to estimate and express it in a way that includes the contribution from sampling, with a worked example.

However, SIMS analyses involve calibration and the determination of instrumental mass fractionation in reference materials with a matrix composition similar to that of the unknown samples. To provide metallic reference materials adapted to S measurements <i>via</i> SIMS, we synthesised a series of twenty-eight alloys comprising four FeNi(±Si) compositions (Fe<sub>95</sub>Ni<sub>5</sub>, Fe<sub>90</sub>Ni<sub>10</sub>, Fe<sub>80</sub>Ni<sub>20</sub>, and Fe<sub>80</sub>Ni<sub>15</sub>Si<sub>5</sub>) with S contents varying from 100 μg g<sup>−1</sup> to 4 g/100g using the “melt spinning” method, which guarantees that the metal alloys are rapidly quenched at ~ 10<sup>6</sup> K s<sup>−1</sup>. Sulfur contents were determined at the Service d'Analyse des Roches et Minéraux at the CRPG and absolute δ<sup>34</sup>S values were determined by multi-collector ICP-MS (MC-ICP-MS, ThermoScientific Neptune) and isotope ratio mass spectrometry (Thermoscientific Delta V). A δ<sup>34</sup>S value of 16.01 ± 0.31‰ was consistently obtained using the MC-ICP-MS, which was indistinguishable of the δ<sup>34</sup>S value of the FeS starting material (15.95 ± 0.08‰). It suggests that S did not undergo isotopic fractionation during the melting process. Of fifteen samples containing ≤ 5000 μg g<sup>−1</sup> S, SIMS measurements with 15-μm-diameter spots were repeatable to within 10% relative (1 standard deviation, 1<i>s</i>) for S contents and 2‰ for δ<sup>34</sup>S values. However, samples containing > 5000 μg g<sup>−1</sup> S showed FeNi–FeS immiscibility, leading to minor dispersion of the S mass fractions and δ<sup>34</sup>S values. No matrix effect was observed for Fe-Ni, Si, or S contents in terms of the calibration curves and instrumental mass fractionation. We ultimately recommend eight samples as reliable reference materials for S isotopic measurements by SIMS, which we can share worldwide with other laboratories.</p>","PeriodicalId":12631,"journal":{"name":"Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research","volume":"48 4","pages":"927-940"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ggr.12584","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142851536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
