Preparation Note: | Description • This PT sample is packaged as a 20 mL concentrate. • The solvent for this sample is water. • The PT sample is not preserved. Sample Preparation • Partially fill a 1000 mL volumetric flask with reagent-grade water (near 20 ºC). NOTE: The dilution volume has changed from previous studies so that the concentration can cover the entire TNI range. • Invert ampule PE1081-20ML three times. • Open the ampule (be careful to avoid cuts on glass) and transfer 10.0 mL of concentrate to the volumetric flask. • Fill the volumetric flask to volume with reagent-grade water and mix well. • Calibrate your instrument as directed by the manufacturer. • Ensure that the solution is thoroughly mixed immediately prior to analysis. • Do not use a matrix modifier with this sample. The matrix modifier will adversely affect your results. |
Storage and Stability: | Please refer to sample label for expiration date, specific storage temperature, and specific storage conditions. |
