analysis. The solutions should contain 0.5% HCl as well as nitric acid.
• Make up the following calibration standards by diluting SPEX
XSTC- 760A with nitric acid to approx. 1%. The concentration of the
undiluted solution is 100x that of drinking water quality standard.

curve ranges
Level 1 Blank HNO3
Level 2 1/1000 dilution (1/10 of standard)
Level 3 1/200 dilution (1/2 of standard)
Level 4 1/100 dilution (standard concentration)
For high-concentration Na, Mg, K, and Ca, it is safer to prepare their mixed standard
solutions separately instead of mixing with the SPEX mixed standard solution, so as to
prevent contamination with the reagent, particularly if the required concentration level is
1/100 of the standard.
• Dilute samples with nitric acid to approx. 1%
• Dilute Internal standard solution (P/N 5188- 6525) 200 times (for on- line
internal standard)
• Use of nitric acid (1 to 5%) is recommended for the cleaning solution, as
it will clean the introduction system better than pure water. If pure
water is used, residual memory may be washed out while introducing
acidic samples, affecting the quantitative measurement.
