Abstract

The results of the first international inter-comparison of ¹⁰Be analysis from quartz are presented. This inter-comparison includes the sample preparation starting from pre-purified quartz and AMS measurements at SUERC and ANU. Measured ¹⁰Be concentrations agree within their uncertainties for six out of seven samples with ¹⁰Be concentrations greater than 1 × 10⁴ at/g quartz. This agreement and also the agreement of ¹⁰Be concentrations analysed from two aliquots of the same sample at SUERC indicate that addition of ⁹Be carrier before (used at ANU) or after quartz dissolution (used at SUERC apart from one aliquot of one sample) should not result in substantially different results.
