ThermoFisher ARGUS-VI

Revisiting the isotope composition of neon in air

In a new paper* Dr Domokos Györe et al. at SUERC has used a state-of-the-art ThermoFisher ARGUS-VI to quantify 20NeH+ abundance, determine what controls its formation in mass spectrometers and the extent that it affects Ne isotope measurements.
