Product Overview
This chlorate ion chromatography standard (1000 mg/L in water) is meticulously prepared to meet stringent analytical requirements, ensuring reliable calibration and validation of ion chromatography systems. The solution is formulated using ultra-pure reagents and deionized water to minimize matrix interferences, providing consistent performance across diverse applications. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control, including quantitative analysis via primary reference methods, to guarantee accuracy within ±1% of the stated concentration. The standard is traceable to NIST or equivalent international standards, making it ideal for laboratories requiring compliance with ISO, EPA, or other regulatory frameworks. Packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles with tamper-evident seals, the solution maintains stability for extended periods when stored under recommended conditions. Its low background impurity profile ensures minimal signal interference, even at trace detection levels, while the aqueous matrix simplifies sample preparation and method development. Whether used for routine quality checks or complex research applications, this standard delivers the precision demanded by modern analytical workflows.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this chlorate standard when unopened?
The unopened chlorate standard remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored at 15-25°C in its original packaging, protected from light and moisture. Always verify the expiration date on the label before use.
2. Can this standard be used with suppressed conductivity detectors?
Yes, this chlorate standard is compatible with suppressed conductivity detection systems commonly used in ion chromatography. Its aqueous matrix and low background conductivity ensure optimal performance without requiring additional sample preparation steps.
3. What alternatives exist for lower concentration chlorate standards?
For applications requiring lower concentrations, serial dilution of this 1000 mg/L standard using deionized water (18 MΩ·cm) is recommended. Alternatively, pre-diluted standards at 100 mg/L or 10 mg/L concentrations are available from specialized suppliers.
4. How should I handle potential contamination during sample preparation?
Use dedicated, pre-cleaned glassware or polypropylene labware to avoid cross-contamination. Rinse all equipment with 18 MΩ·cm deionized water before use, and wear powder-free nitrile gloves to prevent introduction of external chlorate sources.
5. Is this standard suitable for anion exchange chromatography?
While primarily designed for ion chromatography, this chlorate standard can be adapted for anion exchange applications. However, matrix compatibility should be verified by running a system suitability test with your specific column and mobile phase conditions.
