Standard Preparation With Cubis® II
Last updated: May 2020
Overview
The preparation of standards, also known as reference samples, is a routine procedure in analytical laboratories. There are two types of standards: internal standards, which are added to the samples being analyzed, and external standards, which are separate and used for comparison with test samples.
Each type of standard has a defined concentration of one or more known components. The concentration of these materials must be as accurate as possible to avoid subsequent errors in determining unknown concentrations in samples.
