Testing the Ce Limit of Mass Bias Correction Using <sup>145</sup> Nd/ <sup>142</sup> Nd as Normalizing Ratio in Radiogenic Neodymium Isotope Analysis by MC‐ICP‐MS
The correction of instrumental mass bias with <sup>145</sup>Nd/<sup>142</sup>Nd as a normalizing ratio yields, as previously suggested, improved trueness and precision of <sup>143</sup>Nd/<sup>144</sup>Nd data in comparison with <sup>146</sup>Nd/<sup>144</sup>Nd-based corrections, even under high Ce/Nd of to ~1. This allows improved optimization of signal intensity during instrument tuning, which is particularly useful for natural samples with low Nd content.
