Product Overview
This 1000 ppm Aluminum ICP-ML single-element standard is a high-purity, matrix-matched solution designed for inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) applications. Formulated with ultra-pure reagents and stabilized in a nitric acid matrix, this standard ensures minimal interference and maximum accuracy in elemental analysis. The concentration is precisely calibrated and traceable to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) reference materials, guaranteeing reliable results for calibration curves, method validation, and quality control procedures. The aqueous solution is free from particulate contamination, ensuring consistent performance across multiple analytical runs. Packaged in a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottle, it resists chemical leaching and preserves the integrity of the standard over extended storage periods. The low background matrix minimizes spectral overlaps, making it ideal for trace-level aluminum detection in environmental, pharmaceutical, or industrial samples. Each batch undergoes rigorous multi-point quality checks to confirm homogeneity and stability, eliminating variability between measurements. Compatible with most ICP-MS and ICP-OES (Optical Emission Spectrometry) instruments, this standard eliminates the need for time-consuming in-house preparation while maintaining laboratory-grade precision.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Aluminum ICP-ML standard?
The standard remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature (15–25°C). Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal accuracy.
2. Is this standard compatible with ICP-OES instruments?
Yes, while optimized for ICP-MS, this 1000 ppm Aluminum standard can also be used with ICP-OES systems. Ensure proper dilution if required for your specific instrument’s detection range.
3. Does this solution contain any preservatives or stabilizers?
The standard is stabilized with high-purity nitric acid (2–5% v/v) to prevent precipitation and microbial growth, without additional preservatives that could interfere with analysis.
4. Can this standard be used for environmental water testing?
Yes, the low background matrix and traceable certification make it suitable for environmental applications, including drinking water, wastewater, and soil extract analysis after appropriate dilution.
5. How should I dispose of unused or expired standard?
Follow local laboratory waste disposal regulations. Neutralize with a base (e.g., sodium hydroxide) if required, then dispose of as hazardous chemical waste due to the nitric acid content.
