Product Name – ICP multi-element standard solution, 22 elements, 100 mg/L ICP-MS multi-element standard
Quantity/Pack Size – 100 ml
Form – Liquid (Aqueous Solution)
Grade – ICP-MS Standard
Application – Trace metal analysis, calibration, quality control
Product Overview
The 22-element ICP-MS standard solution is a high-purity, ready-to-use reference material designed for precise trace metal analysis in inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Each element is dissolved in a stabilized nitric acid matrix to ensure long-term stability and minimal matrix interference. The solution is calibrated at 100 mg/L concentration, providing consistent and accurate results for calibration curves, method validation, and quality control procedures. Manufactured under stringent ISO guidelines, this standard is NIST-traceable, ensuring reliability for research, environmental testing, and industrial applications. The aqueous formulation eliminates the need for additional dilution in most cases, reducing preparation time while maintaining analytical integrity. Compatible with most ICP-MS and ICP-OES instruments, this solution is ideal for laboratories requiring high-precision multi-element quantification without cross-contamination risks.
FAQs
1. What elements are included in this 22-element ICP-MS standard solution?
The solution contains 22 trace elements commonly analyzed in environmental, geological, and industrial samples, including but not limited to lithium, beryllium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, arsenic, selenium, molybdenum, cadmium, antimony, barium, mercury, thallium, lead, bismuth, thorium, and uranium. Refer to the certificate of analysis for the exact composition.
2. Is this standard compatible with both ICP-MS and ICP-OES instruments?
Yes, the solution is formulated for compatibility with both ICP-MS and ICP-OES systems. However, for ICP-OES, additional dilution may be required depending on the instrument’s sensitivity and the specific elements being analyzed. Always verify the optimal concentration range for your equipment.
3. How should this standard be stored to maintain stability?
Store the unopened bottle at room temperature (15–25°C) in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and sources of contamination. Once opened, tightly recap the bottle and store it upright to prevent leakage or evaporation. Avoid prolonged exposure to air to minimize oxidation risks.
4. Can this standard be used for environmental water or soil analysis?
The solution is suitable for calibrating instruments used in environmental analysis, including water, soil, and sediment testing. Its multi-element composition covers regulatory-mandated metals like arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury, making it ideal for compliance testing under standards such as EPA or IS 10500.
5. What is the shelf life of this ICP-MS standard solution?
When stored under recommended conditions, the solution remains stable for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture. The expiration date is printed on the label. For best results, use the standard before the expiry date and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles if refrigeration is necessary.
