Table 2. Sequence of Procedures Applied during the Determination of the Sensitivity and Cross-Sensitivity Parameters.

  measured parameter applied gas generator supplementary data required the procedure for generating the required supplementary data
step 1 14NH3 sensitivity mass-flow controller none none
step 2 15NH3 sensitivity chemical reaction actual value of c(15NH3) c(15NH3) is determined in two steps:
        (1) determination of c(14NH3) from the measured value of PA14 with the help of the 14NH3 sensitivity parameter determined in Step 1
        (2) calculation of c(15NH3) from c(14NH3) by using the mixing ratio of the isotope labeled salts
step 3 15NH3 cross sensitivity mass-flow controller actual value of c(14NH3) c(14NH3) is calculated from the measured value of PA14 with the help of the 14NH3 sensitivity parameter determined in Step 1
step 4 14NH3 cross sensitivity chemical reaction actual value of c(15NH3) c(15NH3) is calculated from the measured value of PA15 with the help of the 15NH3 sensitivity parameter determined in Step 2
