NCS 73308 Soil Reference Material for Handheld XRF Calibration and Verification

The NCS 73308 Soil Reference Material is a certified reference material used to verify handheld XRF performance in soils and environmental applications. It is well-suited for calibration checks, drift monitoring, and routine QA/QC workflows where confidence in analytical results is critical.

This material provides certified elemental concentrations for key analytes commonly measured in soils mode, making it a reliable standard for validating instrument accuracy and consistency across testing conditions.

NCS 73308 is widely used by handheld XRF operators for method validation, operator training, and performance verification. It is particularly valuable when testing environmental samples where regulatory thresholds and data quality matter.

For users familiar with Thermo Scientific Niton workflows, this material is commonly used as an alternative to standards referenced under part number 180-600, providing a comparable approach for soils mode verification and QA/QC checks.
