Abstract
Accurate calibration of the spectrometer output signal in terms of the content of elements under measurement is of great importance for the metrological assurance of high-precision inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). This paper aims to establish the certified values of a reference material for a multi-element solution of metals for use in measurements based on inductively coupled plasma spectrometry (ICP-CRM Multi 1). ICP-CRM Multi 1 is a solution with the certified values of the mass fraction of metals: barium, cadmium, cobalt, lithium, lead, and zinc. The solution was packed in high-density polyethylene bottles with a capacity of 4, 8, 15, 30, 60, and 125 cm3. The certified values of the mass fraction of metals in the solution was established by the gravimetric method of preparation and confirmed by the State Primary Standard of Unit of Mass Fraction and Unit of Mass (Molar) Concentration of Inorganic Components in Aqueous Solutions Based on Gravimetric and Spectral Methods GET 217–2018. The permissible certified values of the mass fraction of metals in the developed ICP-CRM are shown to range from 900 mg/kg to 1100 mg/kg. The authors have launched a study into the long-term stability of ICP-CRM Multi 1 with the purpose of establishing its expiration date. It is assumed that the expanded uncertainty of measurements of the certified value of the mass fraction of metals in the solution of ICP-CRM Multi 1 will not exceed 0.5%. ICP-CRM Multi 1 can be used for ensuring the metrological traceability of measurements to GET 217–2018 in inorganic analysis using ICP-MS and ICP-OES. The developed solution will also allow one of the main advantages of these methods to be applied in routine analysis, namely the ability to quickly and simultaneously measure several elements in samples.
