Abstract
Standard Reference Material (SRM) 1936 Great Lakes Sediment is intended for 1) use in validating calibration and validation materials for sediment analysis methods and 2) value assigning in house produced control materials analyzed using those methods. A unit of SRM 1936 consists of one bottle containing approximately 50 g of radiation-sterilized, dried sediment from Milwaukee Bay, WI, USA. This publication documents the production, analytical methods, and statistical evaluations used to characterize this material.
