title: Measurement of Ag, Te and Pd in geochemical reference materials by mass spectrometric isotope-dilution analysis.
abstract: Procedures are described which permit mass spectrometric isotope-dilution analysis to be used to determine Ag, Te and Pd in rock samples at the ng g level. The concentrations (ng g ) of Ag, Te and Pd were found to be 25.7 +/- 0.7, 1.2 +/- 0.6 and 0.08 +/- 0.05 respectively in BCR-1 and 3.5 +/- 0.2, 4.2 +/- 0.7 and 2.9 +/- 1.7 respectively in PCC-1.
