'Isotope dilution
analysis (IDA) or isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) is a well-known
analytical technique based on the measurement of isotope ratios in samples
where the isotopic composition has been altered by the addition of a known
amount of an isotopically enriched element. It is an absolute quantitative
method (traceable to the primary isotopic standard) and is commonly used for
applications where high accuracy and certainty is required, for example in
National Metrology Institutes. Also, since the quantification solely depends on
the measurement of the isotope ratio in the sample itself and does not involve
the use of external calibration, IDA is significantly less prone to matrix
effects. IDA offers the possibility to determine major to ultra-trace concentrations
of elements in virtually any matrix, with superior accuracy and precision
compared to external calibration and is often used as a reference method for
certified reference material characterisation.
