New synthetic soil standards for elemental analysis

Elemental Microanalysis announces B2237, B2230, and B2233

Elemental Microanalysis, a leading global supplier to the elemental analysis market, has developed a line of synthetic soil standards.

Elemental’s synthetic soil reference material is made from pure mineral and chemical ingredients, blended to exactly match the elemental make-up of natural soils. The synthetic process provides multiple benefits to customers, including ingredient composition tailored to the needs of the scientific community.

Elemental’s initial soil standards are: a loamy soil standard (B2237), a high organic content soil standard (B2230), and a medium organic content soil standard (B2233). Elemental is developing additional synthetic soil standards to better mimic the range of natural soils previously collected, processed, and produced.

Creating synthetic soils leads to improved consistency across consecutive batches, compared to collected soils. Synthetic soils are also not subject to the same export legislation and control as irradiated natural soil, which simplifies import restrictions for hassle-free worldwide shipping.
