Standards

A single calibration program, set up with the Omnian setup samples, is used to quantify the complete composition of almost any type of material. Important functions include an accurate Peak Search <(>&<)> Match algorithm, an advanced Fundamental Parameter algorithm that corrects for the Fluorescent Volume Geometry (FVG) and the unmeasured 'Dark Matrix' compounds, and Adaptive Sample Characterization (ASC) to correct for sample-specific effects.

The ROHS calibration standards in polyethylene designed for meeting the compliance requirements of the ROHS/WEEE and ELV as similar regulations. The set consists of 4 standard disks and one blank. The set comes with 2 replicates of each standard to asset in meeting infinite thickness requirements as well as providing additional standards in case some wear out due to normal use. The standards not only cover the main restricted elements of Br, Cd, Pb, Cr and Hg, but also contain commonly monitored elements such as As, Cl, S, Sb, Sn and Zn. The concentration ranges of the set are as follows: As(0-145ppm),Br(0-980ppm), Cl(0-1075ppm), Cd(0-252ppm), S(0-590ppm), Pb(0-1033ppm), Cr(0-973ppm), Sb(0-345ppm), Hg(0-483ppm), Sn(0-178ppm), Zn(0-976ppm).

Drift monitor sample (40mm) for Omnian required for maintenance of the Omnian set-up. Note that this monitor sample is also included in the Omnian standards set.

Set of two monitor samples for Pro-Trace The set includes a Ausmon for silicates and general use and a high purity silica blank sample

CEMOXI is a set of synthetic standards that will handle fused bead major element analysis of cement final product and cement raw materials. CEMOXI can be used as a primary fused bead calibration or to verify customer in-house standards for pressed powder applications. The PANalytical Axios spectrometer coupled with the CEMOXI standards and the SuperQ software FP algorithm makes up a unique system that consistently produces very high quality major and minor element analyses in a wide variety of cements and the raw materials used in its manufacture, including limestone, clay/shale and gypsum. The CEMOXI standards set comprise nine multi-element synthetic “cement” standards. The standards are delivered as powders to be prepared as fused beads by the customer, using the customer’s flux, dilution ratios and methodology. The standard CEMOXI-00 should be a fused bead of the customer’s own flux. They are therefore suited and applicable to every cement industry laboratory. It is recommended to fuse the standards in duplicate and in separate fusion batches. CEMOXI oxides and their concentration ranges (wt%) Na2O , 0 – 1.0 , MgO , 0 – 6.0 , Al2O3 , 0 – 10 , SiO2 , 0 – 24 , P2O5 , 0 – 0.5 , SO3 , 0 – 59 , K2O , 0 – 2.0 , CaO , 0 – 70 , TiO2 , 0 – 1.0 , Mn2O3 , 0 – 0.28 , Fe2O3 , 0 – 7.0 , ZnO , 0 – 0.25 , SrO , 0 – 0.7

WROXI is a set of synthetic standards that will handle fused bead major element analysis of many of the elements required by the mining and mineral industries. WROXI can be used as a primary fused bead calibration or to verify customer in-house standards for pressed powder applications. The PANalytical sequential range of spectrometers combined with WROXI standards and the SuperQ software FP algorithm makes up a unique system that consistently produces very high quality major and minor element analyses in a wide variety of raw materials from many different industries, including cement, gypsum, ceramics, bricks, glass, iron and manganese and some heavy mineral ores. The WROXI standards set comprises twenty multi-element synthetic standards. The standards are delivered as powders to be prepared as fused beads by the customer, using the customer’s flux, dilution ratios and methodology. The standard WROXI-00 should be a fused bead of the customer’s own flux. They are therefore suited and applicable to every relevant industry laboratory. WROXI oxides and their concentration ranges (wt%) Na2O 0-58, MgO 0-78, Al2O3 0-78, SiO2 0-80, P2O5 0-40, SO3 0-59, K2O 0-40, CaO 0-80, TiO2 0-40, V2O5 0-10, Cr2O3 0-10, Mn3O4 0-80, Fe2O3 0-82, NiO 0-12, CuO 0-8, ZnO 0-10, SrO 0-20, ZrO2 0-43, BaO 0-43, HfO2 0-10, PbO 0-10

The Oil-Trace set up samples consist of 6 blank matrix samples designed to be used in conjunction with the Oil-Trace software package to correct for varying CH content in unknown samples. The set up sample suite includes butanol, dibutyl ether, ethanol, glycol, IPA and mineral oil.

The set of 6 NiFeCo-FP set-up samples is used to transfer the NiFeCo-FP master calibration for up to 21 elements in nickel-, iron- and cobalt-based alloys. This master calibration is based on more than 120 certified reference materials and includes special elements like Pt, Re, Ta and Hf. A drift correction monitor sample and quality check sample are included. The SuperQ Metals Database includes application templates for NiFeCo-FP and other metals applications. SuperQ and all licensed customer options will be updated. NOTE: this module requires SuperQ version 4 or higher.
