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:

Development of in-situ multiple sulfur isotope
analysis by LA-ICP-QQQ-MS to target mineral
deposits.
Guillaume is a Research Associate who runs the LA-ICPMS/MS lab. He works on sulfur speciation and its geochemical and isotopic signature during the Thermochemical Sulfate Reduction process. His interests include the study of stable isotope signatures of mineral deposits sources and the water-rock interactions that form them.
