This Standard Reference Material (SRM®) is a natural, combustion-related mixture of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) isolated from a coal tar sample and dissolved in toluene. NIST-1597a is intended for use in the evaluation and validation of analytical methods for the determination of PAHs. It is suitable for direct analysis (i.e., without sample cleanup or concentration) in the determination of PAHs using analytical techniques such as gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (LC), or gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). This SRM® may also be used to evaluate procedures for measurement of mutagenic activity of combustion-related mixtures of PAHs and related compounds. /// Sample value(s) - please ask for current certificate.

NIST provides over 1300 Standard Reference Materials® as well as articles and practice guides describing the development, analysis and use of SRMs.
NIST Standard Reference Materials are used by analytical laboratories in industry, academia and government in order to facilitate commerce and trade and to advance research and development. The SRMs are produced by the engineering laboratory, the material measurement laboratory, and the physical measurement laboratory at NIST. They are available for chemical composition, physical properties, and engineering materials.
