Copper, a native metal found in ores, is the principal metal in bronze and brass. It is a
reddish metal with a density of 8920 kg m− 3. All of copper's compounds tend to be brightly …

The number of studies using various stable isotope systems for tracing contamination
sources and various biogeochemical processes is rapidly rising due to the increased …

Isotope ratios of heavy elements vary on the 1/10000 level in high temperature materials,
providing a fingerprint of the processes behind their origin. Ensuring that the measured …

The differentiation of Earth into a metallic core and silicate mantle left its signature on the
chemical and isotopic composition of the bulk silicate Earth (BSE). This is seen in the …

An ion imprinting polymer (IIP) electrochemical sensors based on chitosan-graphene oxide
composites polymer modified glassy carbon electrode (CS/GO-IIP) was developed for the …

An early diagnostic biomarker for breast cancer is essential to improve outcome. High
precision isotopic analysis, originating in Earth sciences, can detect very small shifts in metal …

Copper and Zn are trace metal micronutrients whose stable isotope systematics are
receiving increasing attention as possible paleoenvironmental tracers. However, to realise …

High-precision isotopic analysis of essential mineral elements, mainly Ca, Cu, Fe and Zn,
provides relevant biomedical information. For this application, multi-collector ICP-mass …

The global marine distributions of Cd and phosphate are closely correlated, which has led to
Cd being considered as a marine micronutrient, despite its toxicity to life. The explanation for …

Copper, Zn and Pb isotope ratios are important tracers for understanding geological and
biological processes. We present optimised column separation methods using an anion …
