AMIS0410 Cu 1.713% Oxide Copperbelt ZM

AMIS0410 Cu 1.713% Oxide Copperbelt ZM

AMIS0410 Cu 1.713% Oxide Copperbelt ZM is a certified reference material (CRM) primarily used for quality control in analytical laboratories. It’s a matrix-matched standard derived from oxide copper ore sourced from the Kansanshi Mine in Zambia.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown of its uses:
Quality Control:
The primary use is as a control sample in routine assay laboratory quality control. It helps laboratories monitor inter-laboratory or instrument bias and within-lab precision during copper analysis.
Method Development and Calibration:
AMIS0410 can be used to develop new analytical methods for copper analysis and to calibrate laboratory equipment.
Traceability:
While not directly used to establish traceability, the consensus results from the round robin used to determine the reference values for AMIS0410 can indirectly contribute to establishing traceability to an SI system of units.
Key features of this CRM:
Matrix-matched:
The material’s composition closely resembles the samples being analyzed, making it a reliable control.
Certified Values:
It has established copper content (1.713%) and associated uncertainties based on a round-robin measurement campaign involving multiple laboratories.
Origin:
The material is sourced from the Kansanshi Mine, known for its oxide copper mineralization.
Composition:
The ore contains a mix of oxide and primary (sulfide) copper minerals, including chrysocolla, malachite, limonite, chalcopyrite, and chalcoc
