| Summary: | Reference materials play an important role in demonstrating the quality and reliability of analytical data. The
advantage of using in-house reference materials is that they provide a relatively cheap option as compared to
using commercially available certified reference material (CRM) and can closely resemble the routine
test sample. A marine sediment sample was designed as an in-house reference material, in the framework of
quality assurance and control (QA/QC) program of the Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) Laboratory at
Nuclear Malaysia. The NAA technique was solely used for the homogeneity test of the marine sediment sample.
The CRM of IAEA- Soil 7 and IAEA- SL1 (Lake Sediment) were applied in the analysis as compatible matrixbased
reference materials for QA purposes. |
