Preparation Note

Description

• This PT sample is packaged as a 1.2 mL concentrate.
• The solvent for this sample is methanol.
• The PT sample is not preserved.

Sample Preparation

• Fill a 100 mL Class A Volumetric Flask to volume with organic-free reagent water.
• Open ampule PE1250-1.2ML and withdraw 20 μL of the solution using a gas-tight microsyringe.
• Inject the concentrate into the expanded area of the flask well below the surface of the water.
• Stopper the flask and mix by gentle inversion 3 times. Excessive mixing will result in loss of volatiles and should be avoided.
• This represents the sample for analysis.
• DO NOT USE a matrix simulator with this sample.

Storage and Stability

Please refer to sample label for expiration date, specific storage temperature, and specific storage conditions.
