Multiple-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICPMS) combines sector-field ICPMS with a multiple collector detector system and has recently emerged as an alternative to TIMS for precise U-Th isotope measurement. The full potential of MC-ICPMS has yet to be realized. Yet despite this, its performance in high precision isotope measurement already challenges and, in some cases, surpasses that ever achieved by TIMS (e.g., Lee and Halliday 1995 Blichert-Toft and Albarede 1997).

Elemental analysis by mass spectrometiy was performed using a Perkin-Elmer Sciex ELAN 6000 Inductively Coupled Plasma—Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS) and a ThermoFinnigan Element 2 Inductively Coupled Plasma Sector Field Mass Spectrometer. The iron oxide colored fibers (Table III, 16, 17) were weighed into the following aliquots (1) 1 mg rabbit hair (RH), (2) 5 mg RH, (3) 1 mg of milkweed (MW), (4) 5 mg MW and (5) a mixture of 2.5 mg RH and MW each. These samples were combined with concentrated nitric acid. Wanning the mixture to just below boiling temperature for 5 to 7 minutes did not result in total digestion. Hence, the incubation time in the water bath was increased to 30 minutes. Afterward, these samples were analyzed in the spectrometer.

This multiauthored book aims at highlighting the role played by atomic and mass spectrometry (with particular reference to atomic absorption spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) in supporting and promoting research and control of foodstuffs and food commodities as regards both essential and potentially toxic chemical elements. The progress made so far in this field is overviewed and emphasis is put on the open problems that require further investment and development in the public and private sectors.
