Abstract

A wavelength calibration solution comprising from about 0.025 to about 0.140 molar neodymium and from about 0.135 to about 0.550 molar samarium, wherein the neodymium is present as a neodymium ionized constituent and the samarium is present as a samarium ionized constituent. A method for checking the wavelength accuracy of spectrometers or spectrophotometers of the type comprising measuring the absorbance (A) or percent transmittance (% T) of a wavelength calibration check solution versus a blank at more than one wavelength. The method is characterized in that the above solution is employed therein as the wavelength calibration check solution.
