(a)

NIST analysis

(b)

The reference mass fraction value is the mean of results obtained using one analytical technique. The expanded uncertainty, U, is calculated as U = kuc, where uc is one standard deviation of the analyte mean, and the coverage factor, k, is determined from the Student’s t-distribution corresponding to the associated degrees of freedom and a 95 % confidence level for each analyte. The effective coverage factor k is given in the table

Mass fraction of non-conjugated species only
