Geochronology questions. Solari and Schaff are generally critical of our geochronologic methods because the uncertainties of LA-ICPMS(Laser-Ablation, Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) analyses are greater than the errors that they and others have generated by ID-TIMS(Isotope Dilution-Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry) analysis. 1, record 2, English, - isotope%20dilution%20%2D%20thermal%20ionization%20mass%20spectrometry%20analysis

Detection limit : Typically the concentration of the solute peak in the detector is 1/5 to 1/350 of the initial sample concentration at injection because of the dilution factor. For precise quantitation, a tenfold greater concentration than this estimate is needed. Keep in mind that narrow-bore columns dilute small samples less than do large-bore columns. 3, record 4, English, - detection%20limit

Bulk samples are taken from the suspect material. These may be swab samples, bulk dilution samples, or Rodac plate samples. For duct insulation, the following numbers are rough rules of thumb used to assess fungal contamination using a dilution sample. Qualitative Assessment of Contamination(concentration-units/gram) : low : less than 10, 000; medium : 10, 000 to 100, 000; medium to heavy : 100, 000 to 1, 000, 000; heavy :greater than 1, 000, 000. 2, record 5, English, - qualitative%20assessment%20of%20contamination
