pbratios: Processing Pb isotope ratio data.

Description Details Author(s) See Also

Description

The package provides some functions to efficiently extract and process Pb isotope ratio data acquired with Perkin Elmer ELAN ICP-MS.

Details

The principal functions are

extract_data

Extracts data from the csv report produced by the mass spectrometer. The only ratios taken into account are 208Pb/207Pb, 206Pb/207Pb, 208Pb/206Pb and 207Pb/206Pb ratios.

calc_ratios

Removes possible outliers from the dataset and calculate the average Pb isotope ratio for each sample.

corr_mbf

Corrects the Pb isotope ratio values for instrumental mass bias using the bracketing standard technique.

Other functions are provided for inspecting possible outliers, evaluating QC samples, saving the final dataset and produce three-isotope plots.
