104.5 - Spectrometry, Single Element Standard Solutions
These SRMs are intended as the primary calibration standards for the quantitative determinations of a single element, typically using either inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry and/or inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. They can also be used in conjunction with any other analytical technique or procedure where standard solutions are required. The SRM is a single-element solution of 50 mL with a nominal concentration of 10 mg/g and is provided as either a single high-density polyethylene bottle or in 5 x 10 mL borosilicate glass ampoules. Solutions may contain a nominal amount of acid, such as 10 % Nitric acid or 10 % Hydrochloric acid.
For the convenience of the user, each certificate provides instructions for preparing SRM dilutions by volume as well as by mass.
Commercial Producers of Elemental Standard Solutions: Instructions and a spreadsheet have been designed as an aid for establishing traceability of a batch of an elemental solution to the corresponding elemental spectrometric solution from the NIST SRM 3100 Series. Spreadsheet with ICP-OES example data is also included. When all required input fields are filled, the spreadsheet will calculate the traceable mass fraction and uncertainty of the batch elemental solution standard. The uncertainty provided by the spreadsheet assumes that the tested lot is stable. Any uncertainty due to changes over time to the lot tested, need to be quantified by the producer of the lot, and incorporated into the total uncertainty of the lot.

SRMs marked by an asterisk X are subject to license requirement by the NRC (or Agreement State) for transfer within the United States (U.S.). License certification is required of purchaser by NIST prior to shipment. When an import permit for radioactive material is required of a customer outside the U.S., NIST must have a copy to complete an order and facilitate shipment.
PLEASE NOTE: The tables are presented to facilitate comparisons among a family of materials to help customers select the best SRM for their needs. For specific values and uncertainties, the certificate is the only official source.
