Letter to the Editor: Silicon Reference Materials Certified for Isotope Abundances

In a series of gas mass-spectrometric measurements performed near the highest attainable accuracy, samples from two highly homogeneous batches of silicon crystals and silica powder were compared directly with a synthetic mixture of the three stable isotopes of silicon. Thereby, this work not only established the "absolute" atomic weight of these batches, but also makes portions of these batches...

Long-term stability of cellulose acetate butyrate thin films for nuclear certified reference materials

Characterization of cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) thin films with 17, 35 and 52 wt% butyryl is carried out to select the most suitable matrix material for the U and Pu containing large-sized dried spike reference material. The virgin CAB samples were aged by vibrations, heat, humidity, UV light and X-rays. Characterization was done by thermo-analytical techniques, gel permeation chromatograp...

Development of High-purity Certified Reference Materials for 17 Proteinogenic Amino Acids by Traceable Titration Methods.

To ensure the reliability of amino acid analyses, the National Metrology Institute of Japan of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (NMIJ/AIST) has developed high-purity certified reference materials (CRMs) for 17 proteinogenic amino acids. These CRMs are intended for use as primary reference materials to enable the traceable quantification of amino acids. The pu...

Certified reference materials for quality control of mercury and selenium determination in food.

Several certified reference materials were used for quality control of mercury and selenium determination in food through different analytical procedures and techniques. The materials were selected with respect to different composition of matrix and levels of certified values. The results agreed well with the certified values for all analysed materials.
