  • A dedicated solution is required to readjust the P/A factor.

     

    PA factor tuning solution set – p/n 5188-6524
    • Multi-element custom mixes to provide suitable signal for detector cross- calibration 100 ml each:
    • P/A Tuning-1 (in 2-5% HNO3) 20 ppm Zn, Be, Cd, As
    10 ppm Ni, Pb, Mg
    5 ppm Tl, Na, Al, U, Cu, Th, Ba, Co, Sr, V, Cr, Mn, Li(6), Sc, In, Lu, Bi
    2.5 ppm Y, Yb
    • P/A Tuning-2 (in 10% HCl and 1% HNO3 with trace HF)
