ABL90 FLEX reference manual 7. Performance characteristics
7-11
Performance test results – cCa
2+
The calcium transfer standards were used. These are traceable to NIST SRM915 and
have an ionic strength of 160.0 mmol per kg of water and pH 7.40 at 37 °C, using 1
mmol/L (37 °C) HEPES buffer.
The standards were produced as indicated in [4].
