Procedure
1. Prepare instrument as outlined in the operator’s instruction manual (perform maintenance and leak checks, etc.);
2. Purging and analyze blanks until instrument is stable (nitrogen results will reach a plateau);
3. Calibrate by CRM EDTA;
4. (4-5) blanks and (1-2) waste samples to condition the instrument
5. 3 samples of calibration substance to check or carry out the calibration;
6. Run 9 sample analyses
7. 2 samples of calibration substance to check the calibration;
8. Repetition of point 5 to point 6 until all samples are processed;
Note
Do Calibrating refer to operator’s instruction manual for details.
