This work reviews the basis and all the existing publications on the hyphenation of chromatography-based techniques to MC-ICPMS for isotopic studies that were published until the end of 2010. A brief historical retrospective of the measurement of isotope ratios from transient signals by ICPMS with different sample introduction techniques is also included. The most important experimental parameters and data reduction strategies affecting the accurate and precise measurement of compound-specific isotope ratios by either HPLC or GC coupled to MC-ICPMS are discussed. All the applications are reported and critically reviewed in terms of analytical characteristics, performances, optimization, advantages and disadvantages and future applicability to the environmental, geochemical, or bioinorganic studies.

A novel method has been developed for the simultaneous online determination of the isotopic compositions of different antimony (Sb) species in a single analytical run using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICPMS), with hydride generation (HG) serving as the interface. Various parameters affecting the precision of Sb isotope analysis including HG conditions, transient signal processing methods and peak integration windows, were optimized. The linear regression slope method and a 100% peak integration window provided the optimal precision.

This paper introduces an enhanced technique for analyzing iron isotopes in complex marine and biological samples. A dedicated iron purification method for biological marine matrices, utilizing three ion exchange columns, is validated. The MC-ICPMS in pseudo-high-resolution mode determines precise iron isotopic ratios, with sensitivity improved through the DSN-100 desolvating nebulizer system and Apex-IR.

We present a new approach to Cu isotopic measurements using a state-of-the-art Nu Sapphire multicollector inductively coupled plasma source mass spectrometer equipped with a collision/reaction cell (CRC-MC-ICPMS). We investigate the effects of Na doping and Cu concentration mismatch between bracketing standard and unknown samples and demonstrate the efficacy of introducing a He-H gas mix into the CRC to efficiently eliminate the sample matrix-based ArNa isobaric interference on Cu. This capability is crucial when measuring samples with high Na/Cu ratios, such as some biological samples, which have significantly different chemical compositions compared to most geological samples.

Rationale: Lithium isotope geochemistry is an important tool in the studies of Earth and planetary materials. In situ Li isotope analyses are typically performed using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) or laser ablation multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-MC-ICPMS), but these instruments are not widely accessible. Here, the capability of laser ablation quadrupole ICPMS for conducting Li isotopic analyses is evaluated.

Bullet projectiles are often found in shooting crime scenes and can help identify the cartridges used in shooting events. The most conclusive way to link a fired projectile to a firearm is by identifying the unique markings of the barrel on the projectile or case. But in circumstances where the investigation of striation marks is impossible, lead isotope ratio signature analysis of projectile fragments can facilitate building the linkage of the suspect, the cartridge used and the victim.
