Specificity
Na/K/Li = <1% to each other when
equal in concentration at <100ppm
Optimal range
Multi-point calibration
Na – 0.0043 – 300mmol/l*
K – 0.0013 – 200mmol/*
Li – 0.0072 – 20mmol/l*
*With required Dilution Ratios
Reproducibility
<1% Coefficient of variability for 20 consecutive samples over ten minutes at concentrations of 100ppm equivalent or less. (After instrument stabilisation).
