Application
The Reference Material (RM) is intended for use as a benchmark and investigative tool to evaluate potential environmental, health, and safety risks associated with manufactured nanomaterials throughout their product life cycle.
Features and Benefits
The reference values for the mean silver particle size are traceable to the SI unit of length, expressed in nanometers, and are determined using the following methods:
1) Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)
2) Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)
3) Ultra-Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (USAXS)
4) Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS)
The reference mass values for silver (Ag) are provided, and values are metrologically traceable to the SI unit of mass, expressed in milligrams.
Information values for copper, gold, silicon, and Iiron are provided and determined using ICP-MS method.
Expiration details, instructions for handling, storage and use are provided on the NIST certificate.

Other Notes
Reference/Informational value is provided for the following analytes.
Silver (Ag), Copper (Cu), Gold (Au), Silcon (Si), Iron (Fe)
