The inductively coupled plasma-triple-quadrupole-mass spectrometer coupled to a laser ablation system (LA-ICP-QQQ-MS) is being developed to measure multiple sulfur isotopes.
Digests of isotopically characterized pyrite (Sierra pyrite, LaFlamme et al. 2016) have been tested by ICP-QQQ-MS with Bastian Goerg, Senior Scientist Agilent Scientific and have promising results:

We are now actively analysing S isotopes by LA-ICPMS using our characterised reference materials for pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite. Please contact crystal.laflamme@ggl.ulaval.ca

We are also completed trace element analyses and maps in a wide-variety of minerals including sulfides, oxides, silicates.
