Dear David,

There is also a chapter on isotope dilution, including an introduction and
equations for calculation in my book Volume-I, which is just published.
The reference is:
Berglund, M. (2004) Introduction to isotope dilution mass spectrometry
(IDMS). In: Handbook of stable isotope analytical techniques. De Groot, P.A.
(ed.). Volume-I. Elsevier: 820-834.

Hope this may be helpful, if you did not found a solution to your problem
already.
Best wishes,

Pier.
