[1] We present new analytical data of major and trace elements for the
geological MPI-DING glasses KL2-G, ML3B-G, StHs6/80-G, GOR128-G,
GOR132-G, BM90/21-G, T1-G, and ATHO-G. Different analytical methods were
used to obtain a large spectrum of major and trace element data, in
particular, EPMA, SIMS, LA-ICPMS, and isotope dilution by TIMS and
ICPMS. Altogether, more than 60 qualified geochemical laboratories
worldwide contributed to the analyses, allowing us to present new
reference and information values and their uncertainties ( at 95%
confidence level) for up to 74 elements. We complied with the
recommendations for the certification of geological reference materials
by the International Association of Geoanalysts (IAG). The reference
values were derived from the results of 16 independent techniques,
including definitive ( isotope dilution) and comparative bulk ( e. g.,
INAA, ICPMS, SSMS) and microanalytical ( e. g., LA-ICPMS, SIMS, EPMA)
methods. Agreement between two or more independent methods and the use
of definitive methods provided traceability to the fullest extent
possible. We also present new and recently published data for the
isotopic compositions of H, B, Li, O, Ca, Sr, Nd, Hf, and Pb. The
results were mainly obtained by high-precision bulk techniques, such as
TIMS and MC-ICPMS. In addition, LA-ICPMS and SIMS isotope data of B, Li,
and Pb are presented.
