See my last post in the "Mass Spec"
thread, KKM.
As an update, I just received notice today 11 of the 15 new standards have been calibrated.
However bc a "considerable number" of the samples DO NOT contain the AAS or concentration listed on the label (like that's some surprise) the chemist believes several samples must undergo MS analysis.
This is being done PRIMARILY to "double check" the accuracy and reproducibility of HPLC sample data already collated.
Its another means of ensuring retention/elution continuity between that of the new standards AND the new column.
This becomes very important as both will be used for comparative sample analysis.
Damn I hope that makes sense mate.
Stated another way, the MS are needed to ensure, once completed, the labs analysis are NOT BUNK, but rather accurate reflections of a samples AAS concentration and content.
Really at this juncture I don't believe it's wise for me to complain since I'm not being charged for the required "extra" MS testing. (around $2300 bucks worth)

It makes very good sense. I and many others here cannot thank you enough.
