Product Description
When precision matters in your lab, the Bismuth ICP Standard Traceable to SRM Fr from Merck ensures accurate and reproducible results. This high-purity standard solution is meticulously formulated for inductively coupled plasma (ICP) techniques, including ICP-OES and ICP-MS, making it indispensable for researchers, analysts, and quality control professionals.
Traceability to SRM (Standard Reference Material) guarantees reliability, eliminating guesswork in calibration curves and quantitative analysis. Whether you’re testing environmental samples, pharmaceuticals, or industrial materials, this bismuth standard delivers consistency batch after batch.
At eqipped, we understand the critical role of reference standards in analytical chemistry. That’s why we source only authenticated, lab-grade solutions like this Merck-certified product. Designed for seamless integration into your workflow, it minimizes preparation time while maximizing data integrity.

Why This Bismuth Standard Stands Out
Not all ICP standards are created equal. This Merck solution is engineered for:
Unmatched Traceability: Directly traceable to SRM, ensuring compliance with international standards like ISO 17025 and GLP.
Stability & Purity: Rigorously tested for contaminants, with a shelf life optimized for long-term storage under standard lab conditions.
Versatile Applications: Ideal for calibration in environmental monitoring (e.g., water, soil), pharmaceutical quality control, and metallurgical analysis.
Ease of Use: Ready-to-use liquid form reduces preparation errors, saving time in busy labs.
For students and educators, this standard serves as a reliable teaching tool, demonstrating the importance of calibration in analytical chemistry. Researchers trust it for publishing robust, peer-reviewed data.
How to Use This Bismuth ICP Standard
Follow these best practices for optimal results:
Storage: Keep the bottle tightly sealed at room temperature (15–25°C). Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or moisture.
Dilution: Use ultra-pure water (18.2 MΩ·cm) and acid-washed glassware for dilutions. Refer to the certificate of analysis for exact concentrations.
Calibration: Prepare a multi-point calibration curve with at least 3–5 standards for ICP-OES/MS. Include a blank to account for background interference.
Safety: While bismuth is relatively low-toxicity, always wear nitrile gloves and safety goggles. Work in a fume hood when handling concentrated solutions.
Common Applications
This bismuth standard is widely used in:
Environmental Testing: Detecting bismuth in wastewater, sediments, or air particulate matter.
Pharmaceuticals: Validating bismuth content in antacids, cosmetics, or radiocontrast agents.
Geochemistry: Analyzing ore samples or mineral deposits for bismuth concentrations.
Forensic Science: Trace evidence analysis in toxicology or material science.
Educators use it to teach students about atomic spectroscopy, calibration techniques, and quality assurance protocols.
Risk Note
Caution: This product contains bismuth compounds. While bismuth has low acute toxicity, avoid ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact. In case of spillage, neutralize with a mild acid (e.g., 1% nitric acid) and dispose of according to local regulations. Refer to the SDS for full safety guidelines.
FAQs
What is the shelf life of this Bismuth ICP Standard?
The standard remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature. Once opened, use within 6 months for best accuracy.
Is this standard compatible with both ICP-OES and ICP-MS?
Yes, it’s formulated for both techniques. For ICP-MS, ensure your instrument is tuned to minimize polyatomic interferences (e.g., from argon or matrix components).
Can I use this for AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy)?
While optimized for ICP, it can be used for AAS if diluted appropriately. However, ICP standards typically have higher acid content, which may require adjustment for AAS methods.
Does eqipped provide a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) with this product?
Absolutely. Every batch includes a CoA detailing concentration, traceability data, and expiry. You can download it from your order confirmation or request it via email.
What’s the difference between this and non-SRM-traceable bismuth standards?
SRM traceability ensures the standard’s concentration is verified against a NIST or equivalent reference material, reducing systematic errors in your results. Non-traceable standards may lack this validation.
