How do you propagate the uncertainties from these mathematical corrections?
Dear Dr. Magee Charles, Thank you and Dr. Norris for organizing the section. You asked a very very good question. Error propagation is always the concern for analytical chemists. Since we do the mathematical corrections for elemental fractionation in two steps (short- and long-term fractionation). It is possible both steps can contribute the uncertainty. We calculated the uncertainty for final analytical results. We measured six micro-analytical geological glass reference materials with a wide variety of silicate matrices from NIST 612, rhyolite to komatiite eight times. The RSD is less than 2% for major and minor elements, and less than 2% and 5% for the trace elements with concentrations higher than 5 ppm and 1 ppm respectively.
