| Popis: | In this work, a method for the accurate and precise determination of ⁸²Se/⁷⁸Se isotope ratio in natural samples of environmental and biological origin, using multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry in a wet plasma mode without using neither hydride generation nor separation of Se, was developed. It was based on the optimized regression model with standard–sample bracketing (ORM–SSB) to efficiently correct instrumental isotopic fractionation/mass bias and matrix effects. In addition, three mass bias correction models of SSB alone, SSB combined with internal standard (IS–SSB), and ORM–SSB were compared for the Se isotope ratio measurements. NIST SRM 987 Sr was used as an internal standard, and the reproducibility of the results obtained with the proposed method was verified by measuring NIST SRM 3149 standard over different days (nine independent measurement sessions). Delta values of the ⁸²Se/⁷⁸Se isotope ratio were measured in selenium-enriched yeast-certified reference material SELM-1, natural selenomethionine samples, and model solutions of artificial seawater. Solutions obtained after thiol resin treatment were measured to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method in eliminating matrix effects due to residual of thiol resin in the sample solutions. Among three mass bias correction models, ORM–SSB correction model proved to be the best to eliminate the matrix effects and instrumental drift. IS–SSB model offered also a good precision but was slightly less accurate. Both models showed good robustness against effects of different sample matrices. Finally, the SSB alone could not be recommended for Se isotope analysis as it produces inaccurate and imprecise results. |
