📝 Notes

* Submission interval for GAW-WDCRG: It is planned yearly but with the potential to submit NRT; up to now no data set has been submitted. Before 2011 a similar system (Varian 3400 GC) was applied at HPB with an ION trap MS. But the column configuration was the same. The here describes system took part in the ACTRIS RoundRobin experiment in 2012 published in Hoerger et al. 2015; the preparation of the submission for the system is in progress. I am not sure, if I answered the calibration part correctly: we use one NPL as the laboratory scale but we perform the daily calibration measurements with a working standard, which is a diluted NPL mixture ~ 0.9ppb blank substranction applied during data evalution After the BPX5 column the carrier for is split onto the MS and on the FID. Certificate: NPL_zertifikat_910379.pdf We are currently waiting for a NIST rgm and a new NPL O3 precursor standard.
