Product Overview
This Cadmium 1000 ppm ICP-ML single-element standard is meticulously formulated to meet the rigorous demands of modern analytical laboratories. Prepared using ultra-high-purity cadmium metal dissolved in a stabilized nitric acid matrix, this standard ensures minimal interference and maximum accuracy in trace metal analysis. The 1000 ppm concentration provides an optimal balance between sensitivity and linearity, making it suitable for calibration curves, quality control checks, and method validation across ICP-MS, ICP-OES, and AAS instruments. The solution is traceable to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) reference materials, guaranteeing reliability in quantitative measurements. Packaged in a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottle, it resists contamination and chemical degradation, preserving integrity during storage and handling. The low particulate content and absence of organic impurities eliminate background noise, enhancing detection limits for ultra-trace analysis. Whether used for environmental monitoring, pharmaceutical testing, or industrial process control, this standard delivers consistent performance with a shelf life of 24 months when stored at room temperature. Its compatibility with automated dilution systems further streamlines workflow efficiency in high-throughput laboratories.
FAQs
1. What is the matrix composition of this Cadmium standard?
The standard is prepared in a 2-5% nitric acid matrix, which ensures stability and compatibility with most ICP and AAS instruments without requiring additional sample preparation.
2. Can this standard be used for mercury analysis as well?
No, this is a single-element Cadmium standard. For mercury analysis, a dedicated mercury standard (e.g., Mercury 1000 ppm in nitric acid) should be used to avoid cross-contamination and ensure accuracy.
3. How should I store this standard to maintain its stability?
Store the unopened bottle at room temperature (15–25°C) in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Once opened, reseal tightly after each use to prevent evaporation or contamination.
4. Is this standard compatible with organic solvent-based dilutions?
This standard is designed for aqueous-based applications. For organic solvent compatibility, consider a standard specifically formulated for organic matrices or consult the instrument manufacturer’s guidelines.
5. What certification or traceability does this standard provide?
The standard is traceable to NIST reference materials, with a certificate of analysis (CoA) provided for each batch, detailing the concentration, uncertainty, and expiration date for full compliance with ISO 17025 standards.
