Multiple reference materials

bourgarit

Hi, I am trying to process data from solid copper samples using 2 ref materials depending on the mass, the NIST612 and 1 copper CRM we've added manually.
My problem is that only the masses assigned to NIST612 are processed, not those assigned to the Cu CRM although the latter seems to be correctly implemented as a .json file (I notably can access all the data associated to this CRM in Iolite). Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hi bourgarit

If you are using the Trace Elements DRS (i.e. not the 3D Trace Elements DRS) and you select NIST612 as your external standard (i.e. calibrant) then you will only get concentrations for elements with accepted values for NIST612.

If you switch to the 3D Trace Elements DRS, you can select more than one reference material.

There is more information about trace element calculations and the DRS here: https://iolite.xyz/support/webinars/webinar_recording_3dte.php, but if you have any other questions, please let us know.

Kind regards,
Bence
