Key Points

The aim is to develop an automated method for the rapid separation of actinides, specifically uranium and plutonium isotopes.
Used rapid microscale dissolution and extraction chromatography.
Employed automated workflows adaptable to various platforms.
Analyses completed in under 4 hours using MC-ICP-MS/MS.
Achieved high-precision analysis of U and Pu isotopes.
Processing time reduced to less than 4 hours.
Demonstrated effectiveness of the automated approach.

Implication

Demonstrates rapid separation of actinides in high-precision analyses, indicating efficiency gains in nuclear chemistry.

Abstract

Rapid microscale dissolution and extraction chromatography enable high-precision U and Pu sotope analysis by MC-ICP-MS/MS in under 4 hours, using automated, platform-adaptable workflows.
