To be able to measure the iron content in the low pg g-1 range a correct assessment of the analytical procedural blank is of crucial importance. The present study considers different approaches we developed to assess, in a realistic way, the procedural blank of the method. The published protocol minimizes sample-tube contact, and labware contribution to the blank, and can easily lead to non-realistic procedural blank values. Instead, our investigations aimed at reproducing the full set of experimental steps. Our results are evaluated in thelight of the published. }, title = {Critical Evaluation of an Isotope Dilution ICP-MS Method for the Measurement of the Fe Content in Seawater}, url = {}, volume = {}, number = {}, journal = {}, pages = {518 - 519}, issn = {}, publisher = {International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)}, doi = {} }
