Form – Liquid
Grade – ICP-ML (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry)
Application – Trace metal analysis, atomic spectroscopy, calibration standards
Product Overview
This 10 ppm Copper ICP-ML single-element standard is engineered for high-precision trace metal analysis, offering exceptional accuracy and consistency in inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) applications. The solution is prepared using ultra-pure copper in a stabilized matrix, ensuring minimal interference and long-term stability. The 10 ppm concentration provides an optimal balance between sensitivity and linearity, making it suitable for both calibration and quality control in analytical workflows. The liquid form allows for easy dilution and integration into automated systems, while the ICP-ML grade guarantees compliance with stringent laboratory standards. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to verify concentration accuracy and absence of contaminants, with full traceability documentation provided. The standard is packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles to prevent leaching and maintain integrity during storage. Its compatibility with most ICP-MS instruments ensures seamless adoption in existing laboratory protocols without requiring method adjustments.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this 10 ppm copper standard?
When stored unopened at room temperature in its original container, this standard maintains its certified concentration for 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this standard be used with ICP-OES instruments?
While optimized for ICP-MS, this 10 ppm copper standard is compatible with ICP-OES instruments, though you may need to adjust dilution factors based on your specific detection requirements.
3. What matrix components are present in this standard?
The solution contains 2% nitric acid as the primary matrix component, with ultra-pure water as the solvent, ensuring minimal spectral interferences.
4. How should I handle potential contamination risks?
Use dedicated polypropylene pipette tips and containers to avoid cross-contamination, and always work in a clean laboratory environment with proper ventilation.
5. Is this standard traceable to NIST or other reference materials?
The concentration is verified against NIST-traceable reference materials, with certification documentation included with each batch for quality assurance.
