General description

A unit of the Organic contaminants in non-fortified human milk standard reference material (SRM) 1953 consists of five bottles of approximately 5 mL of frozen non-fortified human milk.

SRM 1953 _SDS

Application

The SRM 1953 is intended primarily for the evaluation of analytical methods used to determine selected polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners, chlorinated pesticides, polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) congeners, and elements in human milk and similar matrices.

Features and Benefits

  • NIST certified concentration values for PCB congeners, chlorinated pesticides, and PBDE congeners along with a polybrominated biphenyl congener are reported and expressed as mass fractions.
  • Reference concentration values for additional PCB congeners, chlorinated pesticides, PBDE congeners, elements, PCDD, and PCDF congeners are provided and expressed as mass fractions.
  • Information concentration value for Aroclor 1260 is expressed as mass fraction (ng/kg)

Other Notes

  • SRM 1953 is intended for research use.
  • The milk is frozen and should be stored in a freezer at –20 °C until use.
  • Expiration details and storage and use instructions are provided on the NIST certificate
  • Notes on biomaterial handling, disposal, and transport are documented in the MSDS
