    Keywords: Rare Earth Elements in Seep

    These data supersede data identified by: N/A

    These data have been superseded by: N/A

    Comments: This data set is unqualified because the seep samples were not acidified (preserved) upon collection in the field.

    Procedures used:

  • IPLV-009, "Measurement of Trace Elements in Water Samples by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS)", Rev. 3
  • QAP-3.0, "Scientific Investigation Control", Rev. 10 DCN#5
  • QAP-3.6, "Submittal of Data", Rev. 5

    Software used: N/A

    Acquisition/Development Method: ICP-MS generated the data by making a calibration curve. The instrument software is able to determine the concentration element by acquiring a response for the sample using the calibration curve. The data acquired from the instrument is reduced using Microsoft Excel 2003.
