Note: New primary standards prepared in 2003 are not shown here. We are having trouble comparing humidified standards in Essex cylinders to dry standards in Aculife-treated alumimum cylinders. The drying agent Mg(ClO4)2 appears to affect the response of CFC-113 on ECD, but not on GC-MSD. Even with the uncertainties caused by thedrying agent, the 2002 and 1992 scales are equivalent at ambient CFC-113 mixing ratios.
