Certificate of Analysis - Certified Reference Material: Certipur Tris (Hydroxymethyl) - Aminomethane
Certificate of Analysis - Certified Reference Material: Certipur Tris (Hydroxymethyl) - Aminomethane
Certipur® Tris(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane
Metrological traceability: Directly traceable to the corresponding primary standard NIST SRM
Tris(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane 723e.
Measurement method: The certified mass fraction was determined by potentiometric titration with
hydrochloric acid as titration solution. The certified value is based on a molecular
mass M = 121.136 g/mol dried substance.
Intended use: This volumetric standard is intended for standardisation of volumetric solutions
in accordance to the chapter reagents of the Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur., USP).
Instructions for handling The volumetric standard Tris(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane must be kept 24
and correct use: hours in a desiccator above drying agent with a moisture indicator before use.
By within-unit homogeneity studies a minimum weigh-in quantity of 150mg was
determined.
Accreditation: Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany is accredited by the German accreditation
authority DAkkS as registered reference material producer D-RM-15185-01-00
in accordance with ISO 17034.
Associated uncertainty:
The associated uncertainty UCRM reported with the certified values is calculated as combined expanded uncertainty
UCRM=k·uCRM in accordance with GUM and EA-4/02, with k=2 as the coverage factor for a 95% coverage probability.
The combined uncertainty uCRM is derived from combination of the squared uncertainty contributions:
u CRM = u 2 Characteri sation + u 2 Homogeneit y + u 2 Stability
ucharacterisation: is the uncertainty in accordance with DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 which includes the
contributions of the primary reference material and the measuring system. The
characterisation measurements have been conducted by our DAkkS accredited
calibration laboratory (D-K-15185-01).
uhomogeneity: is the between-bottle variation in accordance with ISO 17034. The assessment
of homogeneity is performed by analysis of a representative number of
systematically chosen sample units.
ustability: is the uncertainty obtained from short-term and long-term stability in accordance
with ISO 17034. The stability studies are the basis for the quantification of the
expiry date of this volumetric standard for the unopened bottle.
