Isotopic Compositions (Li-B-Si-O-Mg-Sr-Nd-Hf-Pb) and Fe2+/?Fe Ratios of Three Synthetic Andesite Glass Reference Materials (ARM-1, ARM-2, ARM-3)

To expand the newly developed ARM glasses as reference materials for in situ microanalysis of isotope ratios and ironoxidation state by a variety of techniques such as SIMS, LA-MC-ICP-MS and EPMA, we report Li-B-Si-O-Mg-Sr-Nd-Hf-Pbisotope data and Fe2+/?Fe ratios for these glasses. The data were mainly obtained by TIMS, MC-ICP-MS, IR-MS and wetchemistry colorimetric techniques. The quality of these data was cross-checked by comparing different techniques or bycomparing the results from different laboratories using the same technique. All three glasses appear to be homogeneouswith respect to the investigated isotope ratios (except for B in ARM-3) and Fe2+/?Fe ratios at the scale of sampling volumeand level of the analytical precision of each technique. The homogeneity of Li-B-O-Nd-Pb isotope ratios at the microscale(30-120 micronm) was estimated using LA-MC-ICP-MS and SIMS techniques. We also present new EPMA major element dataobtained using three different instruments for the glasses. The determination of reference values for the major elementsand their uncertainties at the 95% confidence level closely followed ISO guidelines and the Certification Protocol of theInternational Association of Geoanalysts. The ARM glasses may be particularly useful as reference materials for in situisotope ratio analysis.
