Introducing the BRICC (Bricks and rocks for Instruments’ ceramic calibration) sets: Open-source calibration materials for quantitative X-ray fluorescence analysis

2023 atomic spectrometry update – a review of advances in X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and its special applications

“…Frahm et al 67 developed open-source calibration materials intended to aid the calibration of portable XRF instruments for archaeological ceramics. These standards consisted of well-characterised historical brick and geological specimens known as the BRICC (Bricks and Rocks for Instruments' Ceramic Calibration) sets.…”

Atomic spectrometry update: review of advances in the analysis of metals, chemicals and materials

“…Quality control of data is the mainstay of analytical chemistry and so it is good to report the production of open-source calibration materials for quantitative portable XRF analysis. 392 The Bricks and Rocks for Instrumentation Ceramic Calibration (BRICC) sets are 10 sets of materials each of which contain 20 specimens mounted in epoxy disks. These comprise: 12 bricks and 8 geological specimens for the calibration of the instrument, a certied reference material (a shale analysed by 85 The painting "the Entombment of Christ" by the artist Roger Van der Weyden was studied.…”
