General description: | Volatile Residue - WP proficiency testing material is produced in accordance with ISO/IEC 17043:2010. Also referred to as non-Potable water or Water Pollution sample, this sample is produced according to TNI requirements. However, please note, this sample may include non-TNI analytes as well. The higher criteria from the TNI tables mimic the levels common to wastewater samples. The PT portfolio allows our test components to offer significant performance data to monitor and prove competency to customers, accreditation bodies or both. Supelco® is a global proficiency testing (PT) provider that manufactures best-in-class environmental and pharmaceutical PT products. Most water PT samples are available as concentrates or ready-to-use volumes giving the end-user flexibility in selecting samples that will fit their exact needs. Our WP program is designed to meet the quality assurance requirements, thereby ensuring the analytical competence of your laboratory. Type of PT Scheme: Water analysis - Water Pollution (WP) Matrix: Water Pollution/Wastewater Analyte/s: Values of analytes vary lot to lot.

Preparation Note: | Description • This PT sample is a concentrate for dilution in DI water. • The solvent for this sample is NaCl. • The sample must be stored at room temperature. Sample Preparation • Partially fill a 1000 mL volumetric flask with reagent-grade water. • Open vial PE1091-1.2G and weigh 500 mg of solids and quantitatively transfer to the volumetric flask using a glass funnel. • Fill the volumetric flask to volume (1000 mL) and mix by inverting the flask 10 times. • Let the flask stand for 10 min and invert again 10 times. • The sample is now ready for immediate analysis. • Do not filter the sample prior to volatile analysis. Analyte losses may occur. |
Storage and Stability: | Please refer to sample label for expiration date, specific storage temperature, and specific storage conditions. |
