This standard solution is intended for use as a certified reference material and calibration standard for inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), flame or furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy (AA or GFAA), x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) and other techniques for elemental analysis.

A serial numbered certificate is provided from an ISO/IEC 17025 calibration laboratory to indicate instrument traceability to standards provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
