33、.6 Standards for Calibration and Identification, all at 99 %or greater purity (Table 1 and Table 2). If reagents of highpurity are not available, an accurate assay of the reagent mustbe performed using a properly calibrated GC or other tech-niques. The concentration of the impurities which overlap t
