What this note covers

  • Why fill accuracy matters — discrepancies between registered and actual jar mass can bias PhotonAssay™ results, particularly for CRMs run across extended periods

  • Step-by-step jarring procedure including tamping technique, recommended gross masses, and fill level verification

  • Safety requirements for working with fine pulverised materials — ventilation, respiratory protection, and PPE

  • Re-jarring procedure and when to schedule it — including how to monitor jar status via the Customer Daily Report

  • CRM jar registration in the PhotonAssay™ OperatorUI and contamination prevention between materials
