FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Germanium standard?
When stored unopened at room temperature in its original packaging, this standard remains stable for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Is this solution compatible with ICP-OES instruments?
Yes, while optimized for ICP-MS, this 10 ppm Germanium standard can also be used with ICP-OES systems, though you may need to adjust dilution factors based on your instrument’s sensitivity requirements.
3. What alternative concentrations are available for Germanium standards?
Alternative concentrations typically include 1 ppm, 100 ppm, and 1000 ppm options, though availability may vary by supplier. This 10 ppm concentration is ideal for most trace analysis applications.
4. How should this standard be stored to maintain accuracy?
Store the unopened bottle at 15-25°C in a dark, dry place. After opening, keep tightly sealed and use within 6 months for optimal performance.
5. What matrix is used for this Germanium standard solution?
The solution is prepared in a nitric acid matrix (typically 2-5% v/v) to ensure stability and compatibility with most ICP sample preparation protocols.
