Description
Ensure your handheld XRF analyzer is performing as expected before inspecting lead paint with the Alloy Geek Lead Paint Reference Standard. This laminated verification standard incorporates authentic NIST Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) beneath a durable protective laminate, providing a convenient field reference for confirming instrument performance on lead paint applications.
Designed specifically for portable XRF analyzers used in lead paint inspection, this reference sheet contains six certified NIST SRMs spanning common lead paint concentrations. Simply analyze each colored reference area and compare your results to the certified values to verify proper instrument operation.
Unlike disposable check samples or fragile loose standards, the Alloy Geek Lead Paint Reference Standard keeps all six NIST SRMs permanently protected in a single rugged laminated sheet that is easy to transport, store, and use in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a calibration standard?
No. This product is intended as a performance verification reference using certified NIST Standard Reference Materials. Calibration procedures should always follow your instrument manufacturer's recommendations.
Are these genuine NIST reference materials?
Yes. The reference sheet incorporates authentic NIST Standard Reference Materials (SRMs 2570 through 2575).
Can I use this with any handheld XRF?
The standard is compatible with most handheld XRF analyzers configured for lead paint analysis. Always follow your instrument manufacturer's operating procedures.
Does the laminated surface affect XRF measurements?
No. The standard is specifically designed for XRF use, with the reference materials protected beneath a thin laminated surface while remaining suitable for routine verification measurements.
Are the NIST certificates included?
Digital Certificate of Analysis links for each included SRM are provided on the product page for convenient access.
Is this intended for daily instrument checks?
Yes. Many inspectors, laboratories, and quality assurance programs use certified reference materials as part of routine performance verification before or during inspection work.
