Isotope dilution mass spectrometry often is applied for the quantification of platinum group elements in environmental and geological samples. In most cases, however, certified spike solutions offering complete uncertainty statements and SI-traceability are missing. This report describes the production and certification of two isotope reference materials, ERM-AE140 and ERM-AE141, serving as calibrated spike solutions for IDMS based quantification of Pd and Pt, respectively. Both materials were produced by dissolving highly enriched isotopes 106Pd and 194Pt and determining the mass fraction of 106Pd and 194Pt in the final solution by reverse IDMS. Two independent back-spikes were produced for each material from high purity Pd and Pt. Characterization measurements were carried out by MC-ICPMS. For ERM-AE140 the certified mass fractions are w(106Pd) = 20.24(5) mg/kg and w(Pd) = 20.54(5) mg/kg. For ERM-AE141 the certified mass fractions are w(194Pt) = 18.18(11) mg/kg and w(Pt) = 19.90(12) mg/kg. These values are traceable to the International System of Units (SI) in the shortest possible way.
Certification report for the reference materials ERM-AE102a, -AE104a, -AE120, -AE121 and -AE122

Isotope reference materials are essential to enable reliable and comparable isotope data. Besides the correction of mass fractionation or mass discrimination isotope reference materials are indispensible for validation and quality control of analytical procedures. This article describes the production and certification of a set of five isotope reference materials ERM-AE102a, 104a, AE120, 121 and 122, for boron isotope analysis. The isotopic composition of all materials has been adjusted by mixing boron mother solutions enriched in 10B or 11B with a boron mother solution having natural-like isotopic composition under full gravimetric control. All mother solutions have been analysed for their boron mass fraction as well as their boron isotopic composition by TIMS using IDMS as calibration technique. For all five reference materials the isotopic composition obtained on the basis of the gravimetric data agrees very well with the isotopic composition obtained from different TIMS techniques. Performed stability and homogeneity studies show no significant influence on the isotopic composition as well as on the related uncertainties.
The certified isotope abundances for 10B are 0.29995 (27) for ERM-AE102a and 0.31488 (28) for ERM-AE104a. The certified δ11B values are -20.2 (6) ‰ for ERM-AE120, 19.9(6) ‰ for ERM-AE121 and 39.7 (6) ‰ for ERM-AE122.
Together with the formerly certified ERM-AE101 and -AE103 a unique set of seven certified reference materials (CRM) for boron isotope analysis is now available from BAM.
