Certainly your group has paid good money for instruments and is paid good money to measure with them.
But, When You Measure, how do you know your results are right? What gives your customers confidence? Link Up t o National Standards. The National Bureau of Standards has over 900 different Standard Reference Materials that can help you calibrate
instruments and check on measurement accuracy. One of these may be just the sample type you are trying to analyze. In cases where the specific material you need has not yet been issued by NBS, there still may be an instrument performance Standard Reference Material ready to help you. Listed below are some of the areas where NBS has instrument performance SRM's available: Atomic absorption Calorimetry Clinical analysis Electron probes Emission spectroscopy GC/MS HPLC Inductively coupled plasma Mass Spectrometry Neutron activation analysis Optical emission
