sample precision (%RSD)<br />
JDo-1 (n=3)<br />
10 μg/kg calibration st<strong>and</strong>ard 23.0%<br />
Figure 6. Average sample precision (see text for definition) for different rock types dissolved using the<br />
HF-HClO 4 decomposition, as calculated from the number (n) <strong>of</strong> decompositions where the CRM was<br />
measured repeatedly. The average 10 μg/kg calibration st<strong>and</strong>ard is presented for comparison (n=19).<br />
Precision is generally very similar between the rock solutions <strong>and</strong> the calibration st<strong>and</strong>ard, except for<br />
elements that are present at low concentrations in trace-metal poor rocks such as the JDo-1 dolomite<br />
(e.g., Rb, Mo, Cs, Hf, Th, U). This suggests that the st<strong>and</strong>ard deviation <strong>of</strong> ICPMS measurements is<br />
controlled by inherent instrument precision rather than by sample matrix effects.<br />
