Abstract

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Standard Reference Material® (SRM®) 956e Electrolytes in Frozen Human Serum is intended for use in the calibration and validation of procedures and methods employed in clinical analysis for the determination of electrolytes in either diluted or undiluted human serum or plasma. This SRM can be used for calibrating direct-reading ion-selective electrode (ISE) analyzers, and for validating methods used to measure electrolytes in similar matrices. The material was produced commercially in accordance with the protocol described in Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) Standard C29-A2, Standardization of Sodium and Potassium Ion-Selective Electrode Systems to the Flame Photometric Reference Method. This publication documents the production, analytical measurements, and statistical evaluations leading to the certification of the SRM.
