Product Overview
This Europium 10 ppm ICP-ML single-element standard is meticulously formulated for high-precision inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis, ensuring reliable and reproducible results in laboratory settings. The standard is prepared using ultra-pure reagents and deionized water, minimizing matrix interferences and background contamination. Its 10 ppm concentration provides an optimal balance for calibration curves, method validation, and routine quality control checks. The ICP-ML grade guarantees traceability to NIST or equivalent reference materials, meeting stringent analytical requirements. Packaged in a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottle, the solution remains stable under recommended storage conditions, preserving its integrity for extended periods. This standard is particularly valuable for laboratories requiring consistent performance in trace elemental analysis, where accuracy and low detection limits are critical. The absence of preservatives ensures compatibility with a wide range of ICP instruments without introducing additional variables. Whether used for environmental testing, material characterization, or research applications, this Europium standard delivers the precision demanded by modern analytical workflows.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Europium 10 ppm ICP standard?
The shelf life is typically 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature in its original packaging. Always check the label for the exact expiration date.
2. Is this standard compatible with ICP-OES and ICP-MS instruments?
Yes, this 10 ppm Europium standard is designed for compatibility with both ICP-OES (Optical Emission Spectrometry) and ICP-MS (Mass Spectrometry) systems, provided the matrix matches your instrument’s requirements.
3. Can this standard be diluted for lower concentration requirements?
This standard can be diluted using appropriate solvents like 2% nitric acid or deionized water, depending on your analytical method. Always follow standard dilution protocols to maintain accuracy.
4. What precautions should be taken during storage to maintain stability?
Store the bottle tightly sealed at room temperature (15-25°C) away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Avoid freezing, as it may compromise the solution’s homogeneity.
5. Does this standard contain any stabilizers or preservatives that could interfere with analysis?
This Europium standard is prepared without added stabilizers or preservatives, ensuring minimal interference with your analytical results. The matrix consists primarily of ultra-pure nitric acid and deionized water.
