Tazzo-Rangel Luigi Solari Ciencias de la Tierra Lu Hf MC ICP MS analysis The Lu-Hf isotope system is not only an important geochrono- meter but also a powerful tool for petrogenetic studies. To determine reliable analytical results of this system from rock and mineral samples, a protocol is established that includes appropriate sample digestion, a three-stage HREE-Hf ion-exchange separation procedure, a data acquisition protocol by MC-ICP-MS, and an R-based data reduction software package (IsotopeHf ® ) that transforms raw mass spectrome- try data into meaningful isotopic ratios, including all the necessary corrections for spiked samples. Our 176 Hf/ 177 Hf results of both mafic and felsic geochemical reference standards agree with those reported by other authors. However, results obtained using PicoTrace® pressure digestion system (DAS®) yield significantly higher 176 Lu/ 177 Hf for felsic rocks with high Hf content (> 15 ppm) compared to data obtained by Parr® bomb dissolution, indicating incomplete digestion of HFSE-rich phases like zircon under specific conditions of DAS® digestion. The high degree of Hf purity attained using our chemical procedure, MC- ICP-MS measurement protocol, and the IsotopeHf ® program yielded accurate data with reliable and reproducible Lu-Hf isotope ratios within typical analytical uncertainties. 2016 artículo científico 1026-8774 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57246489009 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=572 Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas (México) Num.2 Vol.33
