Rubidium 686.5
Preparation and Packaging Samarium 1.33
Scandium 7.255
All standards are dried in an oven for a minimum of 12 hours at 110C. The dry material is then Selenium -5
pulverised to better than 75 micron (nominal mean of 45 micron) using an Air Classifier. Thematerial is Sodium % 1.465
then homogenised and stored in a sealed, stable container ready for final packaging. Tantalum -2
Tellurium -10
Terbium nr
Materials are statistically sampled from stores, then packaged into either heat sealed, air tight, plastic
Thorium 1.25
pulp packets or screw top sealed plastic containers ready for distribution. All packaging has been Tin nr
chosen to ensure minimal contamination from outside sources during shipment, use and storage. Tungsten 4.21
Uranium <2
Assay Testwork Ytterbium 1.4
Zinc 4725
All standards are tested thoroughly in the Geostats bi-annual laboratory survey. This involves Zirconium 743
assaying by a minimum of 50 reputable laboratories selected from across the world using a variety of Calcium% 1.54
methods (including AR, 3AD, 4AD and ICP, AAS and XRF). Results are compiled into a Potassium % 2.91
Silver 45
comprehensive report detailing statistics for each standard. Assay distributions are checked and
