Prepare a 90.0-mg/L barium standard solution as follows:
1. Pipet 9.00 mL of Barium Standard Solution, 1000-mg/L, into a 100-mL
volumetric flask.
2. Dilute to the mark with deionized water.
3. Prepare this solution daily. Perform the barium procedure as described above.

are accepted, the unspiked sample reading will appear in the top row. See
Standard Additions in the instrument manual for more information.
4. Open a Barium Standard Solution, 1000-mg/L Ba.
5. Prepare a 0.1 mL sample spike by adding 0.1 mL of standard to the unspiked
sample. Touch the timer icon. After the timer beeps, read the result.
6. Prepare a 0.2 mL sample spike by adding 0.1 mL of standard to the 0.1 mL
sample spike. Touch the timer icon. After the timer beeps, read the result.
7. Prepare a 0.3 mL sample spike by adding 0.1 mL of standard to the 0.2 mL
sample spike. Touch the timer icon. After the timer beeps, read the result.
Each addition should reflect approximately 100% recovery.
Note: For AccuVac Ampuls, fill three mixing cylinders (Cat. No. 1896-41) with 50 mL of sample and
spike with 0.2 mL, 0.4 mL, and 0.6 mL of standard. Transfer 40 mL from each of the three
mixing cylinders to three 50-mL beakers. Analyze each standard addition sample as
described in the procedure above. Accept each standard additions reading by touching
Read. Each addition should reflect approximately 100% recovery.
