Chapter 6: Calibration and System Protocols
Required Calibration Supplies
The number of standards required for the calibration procedure depends on whether you choose a single-point
or multi-point calibration. Standards vials are inserted into the
iOS System as prompted by the Analyzer’s on-
screen instructions.
A single-point calibration should require approximately 2.75 hours to complete, and multi-point calibration
should require approximately 4.5 hours to complete.
Sievers Standards for all calibration and verification procedures should be purchased from GE Analytical
Instruments. Standards sets for calibration and verification can be purchased individually, or as vial sets for use
with a Super
iOS System. All standards are provided in 40-mL and 30-mL vials. Standards sets for validation
(System Suitability, Accuracy & Precision, Linearity, Robustness, Specificity, and JP Protocol) can be purchased
individually, or as a combined Validation Set.
To purchase standards in North America or Canada, contact GE Analytical Instruments by phone at
800.255.6964 or 303.444.2009. To purchase standards in the United Kingdom, contact GE Analytical Instruments
at 44(0) 161866 9337. instruments.com. To purchase standards in Europe, Asia, and other parts of the world,
contact your local GE Sales Partner listed at www.GEInstruments.com
.
Standards used in each of the system protocols are shown in Table 8 through Table 11. Standards
concentrations are shown in ppm and ppb. Note that 1 ppm = 1 mg C/L, and 1 ppb = 1 µg C/L. For configurations
without conductivity measurement, standards sets without conductivity standards are available.
