The new generation of tandem mass spectrometers (single and multicollector ICP-MS/MS) provides the geochemical community with a wealth of new isotope systems and a rejuvenation of old favourites, such as 87Rb-87Sr, to investigate our world. The ability to use reaction gases to either remove isobaric interferences or to form molecules with the element of interest and thus move to a mass away from interferences provides the potential for increased precision and increased utility of many stable and radiogenic isotope systems. New technology naturally comes with new hurdles to overcome. These include, but are not limited to, a lack of matrix-matched reference materials, new challenges for downhole fractionation corrections, and additional considerations for mass bias corrections and pulse/analog factors. In this session we invite contributions on the development of techniques, reference materials, data reduction, novel reaction cell gases, and other studies related to reaction cell tandem mass spectrometry. We hope to bring together many different element and isotope systems, and also applications of tandem mass spectrometry to different fields, including but not limited to geology, geochronology, nuclear forensics, and biogeochemistry. https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://conf.goldschmidt.info/goldschmidt/2023/meetingapp.cgi/Session/4446__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!fv--3kmZD5DCgDscHIjETnhPKKm9NLLclZwsKj9uLkGsM2GTVp1Eg_1ByVJiPqwmUfVdFdFPLCmxcZGH$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://conf.goldschmidt.info/goldschmidt/2023/meetingapp.cgi/Session/4446__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!YFcHItb5O7obEY732IK3dMiR_mbnRciFrmiKN-5aj4OV4FQPkW-HUfxglj5Rt8jwR2-AB-JtiBR7qo6ZCkogJ3Qo8VK-yxfS$> On behalf of the conveners, Alicia Cruz-Uribe (U.
