This report is concerned with the investigation of double-focusing sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (DF-ICPMS) for ultratrace and isotopic ratio analysis of long-lived radionuclides (Ra-226, Th-230, Th-232, U-233, Np-237, U-238, and Am-241) using the direct injection high efficiency nebulizer (DIHEN). A new shielded torch arrangement, known as the guard electrode, improves relative sensitivity by a factor of six when the DIHEN is used. Absolute sensitivity with the DIHEN is on the order of 1300 (Ra-226) to 1700 (U-238) counts/fg at a solution consumption rate of 5 muL/min. This is a factor of from three to 20 better than the results obtained by a conventional nebulizer-spray chamber arrangement (e.g., ultrasonic and pneumatic nebulizers). The DIHEN-DF-ICPMS is successfully tested for isotope ratio measurements of U-235/U-238 standards and environmental radioactive waste solutions. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
