Procedure for Preparation of Barium Sulfate Particle Standards

Standard number 1 should be prepared using a 0.100 mg/mL Barium Sulphate stock solution. Prepare this by mixing 900 μL of Sodium Azide stock solution with 100 μL of 1 mg/mL Barium Sulphate stock solution and then proceed as follows:
Std numberConc (mg/mL)Volume of Sodium Azide Stock Required (μL)Volume of Barium Sulphate (0.100 mg/mL) Stock Required (μL)
10.00199010
Standards 2-7 should be prepared using the 1mg/mL Barium Sulphate stock solution
