We present a method to determine ^88Sr/^86Sr and ^87Sr/^86Sr simultaneously. The former variation reflects the mass-dependent isotopic fractionation through the physico-chemical processes, and the latter originates from β ^–-decay of the parent nuclide ^87Rb as well as the mass-dependent isotopic fractionation. In order to determine the mass-dependent isotopic fractionation, the mass-discrimination effect on ^88Sr/^86Sr was externally corrected by an exponential law using Zr. For the radiogenic growth of ^87Sr/^86Sr, the mass-dependent isotopic fractionation effect on ^87Sr/^86Sr was corrected by a conventional correction technique using the ^88Sr/^86Sr ratio. The reproducibility of the ^88Sr/^86Sr and ^87Sr/^86Sr measurements for a high-purity Sr chemical reagent was 0.06‰ (2SD, n = 20) and 0.07‰ (2SD, n = 20), respectively. Strontium isotopic ratios (^88Sr/^86Sr and ^87Sr/^86Sr) were measured on six geochemical reference materials (igneous rock: JB-1a and JA-2; carbonate mineral: JLs-1, JDo-1, JCp-1 and JCt-1) and one seawater sample. The resulting ^87Sr/^86Sr ratios obtained here were consistent with previously published data within the analytical uncertainties. The resulting ^88Sr/^86Sr ratios for igneous rock samples did not vary significantly within the samples, whereas the carbonate samples showed enrichments of the lighter Sr isotopes over the seawater sample. The ^88Sr/^86Sr ratio of geochemical samples could reflect the physico-chemical processes for the sample formation. Also, a combined discussion of ^88Sr/^86Sr and ^87Sr/^86Sr of samples will render multi-dimensional information on geochemical processes.
