Remarks:
Environment and Climate Change Canada matrix reference materials (RMs) are collected in bulk from various locations across North America. SUPER-19 was collected from Lake Superior in September 2019. The bulk sample was pre filtered to remove particulates and filtered through a 0.2 µm sterilizing filter to remove bacteria. This bulk Major Ions and Nutrients in water RM is stored in a dark cold room and is unpreserved.

Intended Use:
This Reference Material is intended for the verification or development of analytical methods for environmental analysis. It is not intended for use as a calibration standard.
