Hello,

I have to collect data on a sample with an internal standard and was
wondering whether LaB6 or Si is preferable. The NIST standard for LaB6
is rather expensive and was considering buying the 99.9% pure LaB6 from
a supplier like CERAC. Is this sufficient for using as an internal
standard? The same for Si?

Thanks,
