A chloride standard is a solution of known chloride ion concentration used primarily in analytical chemistry to calibrate instruments and validate test methods that measure chloride levels in various samples. This standard is essential for ensuring accuracy in the determination of chloride content in environmental water testing, food products, and clinical diagnostics. Chloride standards help in setting up instruments like ion-selective electrodes and colorimeters, providing reference points for quantifying chloride concentrations in real samples.
