Over the past twenty years, successive technological advances have transformed the Re-Os isotopic system into one of the most powerful tools in isotope geochemistry. We present here a brief historical review of these advances and then describe and compare the methods most commonly used today. Our goal is to facilitate the choice of the analytical method best adapted to each specific scientific problem and sample type. Depuis une vingtaine d'annees, grâce aux progres technologiques successifs, le systeme isotopique Re-Os est devenu l'un des outils les plus performants en geochimie isotopique. Nous presentons ici un bref resume de l'histoire de ces progres. Ensuite nous decrivons et comparons les methodes analytiques en Re-Os les plus couramment utilisees de nos jours. Notre but est de faciliter le choix de la methode la mieux adaptee a chaque probleme scientifique et chaque type d'echantillon.
