In this episode, we unpack fundamental concepts that every ICP analyst should know. Learn what National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) are and why SI traceability is essential for accurate measurements. We also clarify the differences between SRMs, CRMs, RMs, and PCRMs, helping you choose the right standard for your work. Plus, we discuss accuracy vs. precision, measurement uncertainty, and how tolerance impacts your data.
