General description: | Diesel in Water proficiency testing material is produced in accordance with ISO/IEC 17043:2010. Also referred to as non-Potable water or Water Pollution sample, this product 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. These samples are typically provided in duplicate for use in case of lab mishap, for QC purposes or to analyze multiple methods. Type of PT Scheme: Water analysis - Water Pollution (WP) Matrix: Water Pollution/Wastewater Analyte/s: Values of analytes vary from lot to lot.

Preparation Note: | Description • This ampule contains a concentrate of a No. 2 Diesel in methanol. • PT sample is packaged as a 1.5 mL concentrate. • The solvent for this sample is acetone. • The PT sample is not preserved. Sample preparation • To prepare solution, fill a 1000 mL volumetric flask to volume with carbon-filtered reagent-grade water at room temperature. • Open ampule PE1708-2ML (be careful to avoid cuts on glass) and immediately withdraw 1 mL. • Quickly inject the 1 mL aliquot into the reagent water in the expanded area of the volumetric flask. • Mix the sample by inverting the flask three times only and analyze immediately. Note: This sample may be used for method AK102 SV (small volume). • To ensure sample integrity, we recommend preparing the same small volume as you normally test. For instance, if your small volume sample is 125 mL, the PT should be diluted 125 μL of concentrate to 125 mL of water (1:1000 dilution). |
Storage and Stability: | Please refer to sample label for expiration date, specific storage temperature, and specific storage conditions. |
