The isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) technique is well
known and widely reported in the literature. However, its
application can present considerable difficulties with regard to
obtaining reliable results. Produced jointly by the Royal Society
of Chemistry's Analytical Methods Committee and the Valid
Analytical Measurement (VAM) programme, the aim of this book is to
provide a simplified yet robust methodology, together with adequate
guidance, to enable laboratories wishing to use the technique to
obtain reliable data. The methodologies, for inorganic and organic
mass spectrometry, which use exact and approximate matching, are
illustrated with worked examples and clear diagrammatic
representations. A comprehensive glossary of terms, references to
key publications and an extensive IDMS bibliography are also
provided. Clear and comprehensive in coverage, Guidelines for
Achieving High Accuracy in Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry
(IDMS) will provide valuable assistance to a wide variety of
analytical chemists interested in applying the IDMS technique to
their own measurement applications.
