Description
NIST 2780 Soil Reference Material for Handheld XRF Calibration and Verification
The NIST 2780 Soil Reference Material is a widely recognized certified reference material used for validating handheld XRF performance in soils and environmental applications. This material is commonly referenced as the Niton equivalent part number 180-625 and is used by XRF operators to verify instrument accuracy, calibration stability, and analytical consistency.
SRM 2780 is certified by NIST for a range of elements relevant to environmental and regulatory workflows, making it a trusted standard for QA/QC procedures. It is especially valuable for users running soils mode who need confidence in their reported results.
This material can be used for routine instrument checks, method validation, operator training, and documentation of analytical performance in compliance-driven environments.
