The determination of wear metals in engine oils and other lubricants can be applied to machines such as automobiles, aircraft, heavy equipment, trucks, locomotives, military vehicles…the examples are endless. By tracking metals suspended in the used oil, engineers, designers, and mechanics can determine the breakdown of specific engine parts. Specific elements present in the used oils have been found to be directly related to specific engine problems. Engine failures, as well as expensive repairs, can be avoided if engine oils are ana-lyzed, providing a periodic trend to predict maintenance or replacement. SPEX CertiPrep presents a comprehensive offering of Organometallic Oil Standards including a variety of single and multi -element standards for wear metals analysis. The single element standards include, base oil standards, sulfur oil standards, and diesel fuel standards as well as kerosene matrix blanks, or standard oil blanks. Also available are specific ASTM Method standards, such as Sulfur Oil Standards for Diesel Fuel Analysis, and #2 Diesel Fuel Standards. The benefits and advantages of these standards are many:

• Choice of 37 single element standards at 1,000 or 5,000ug/g
• Popular multi-element blends 21, 12, or 5 elements
• Clear, transparent matrix n 1 year expiration date
• Convenient sizes, 50 or 100g
• Competitive pricing
• Certificate of Analysis with every solution
• NIST traceable
• Guaranteed stable and accurate
• Manufactured under an internationally accredited ISO 9002 Quality System
• Expert organometallic chemistry technical/customer support
• Custom standards available

To ensure the validity of results from today’s high-performance instrumentation, SPEX CertiPrep presents an extensive line of highest quality reference materials. While the quality of our standards results directly from the manufacturing and testing requirement of our ISO 9001 Quality System, our comprehensive Certificates of Analysis are critical to confirming and documenting that quality. Therefore, every standard is automatically supplied with a Certificate of Analysis which includes:

SPEX CertiPrep also offers custom organometallic oil standards because we realize that no two labs face exactly the same types of samples and problems, or have precisely the same requirements. Our specialists will be happy to discuss your applications, combination of elements and concentrations, and your preferred matrix. We will then design the most compatible, and stable mixture.
