Isotopic Standards

isotope standards, isotopic standards

ISC-Science offers Certified Reference Materials (CRM) that are designed for quantitative analysis by Isotope Dilution Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The stable "non-radioactive" Isotope Standards are certified in concentration and abundances according to ISO 17034.

Isotopic abundance values are reported as percentage [amount fraction (*100), %] and concentration values as micrograms of element per gram of solution (μg/g). According to ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025, the certified concentration value was determined gravimetrically from a standard characterized by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) using a reference method in a single laboratory [Isotope Dilution Mass Spectrometry (IDMS)] and certified isotopic abundances were determined by measuring the isotope-amount ratios for all isotopes by ICP-MS using the enriched isotope stated above as reference. The expanded uncertainty for each certified value was calculated as U = 2 · u, where k = 2 is the coverage factor for a 95% confidence interval and u is the combined standard uncertainty calculated according to ISO Guide 35. The value of u is intended to represent the combined effect of uncertainty components associated with the gravimetric preparation, the IDMS determination, homogeneity and stability for concentration values and the ICP-MS determination for abundance values.

Stability of these materials are based upon rigorous long-term (storage conditions) and short-term (transport conditions) testing of the solution for the certified values according to ISO 17034 and ISO Guide 35. This testing includes, but is not limited to, the effect of temperature.
