Product Name – ICP multi-element standard solution, 28 elements, 100 mg/L
Quantity/Pack Size – 100 ml
Form – Liquid solution
Grade – ICP-MS standard
Application – Trace metal analysis, instrument calibration, quality control
Product Overview
The ICP multi-element standard solution contains 28 precisely calibrated elements at 100mg/L concentration, designed for high-accuracy trace metal analysis using ICP-MS instrumentation. This ultra-pure solution undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure minimal matrix interference and maximum stability, making it ideal for demanding analytical applications. The solution is prepared in high-purity acids with certified reference materials, guaranteeing consistent performance across multiple analytical runs. Its long shelf life and compatibility with most ICP-MS systems reduce the need for frequent recalibration, while the comprehensive elemental coverage eliminates the need for multiple single-element standards. The solution’s homogeneity ensures uniform distribution of analytes, preventing settling or segregation during storage. Each batch is accompanied by a certificate of analysis detailing the exact concentration of each element, traceability to NIST standards, and uncertainty values. The low background contamination levels make it particularly suitable for environmental, geological, and industrial sample analysis where ultra-low detection limits are required.
FAQs
1. What elements are included in this 28-element standard solution?
The solution contains a balanced mix of environmentally and industrially relevant elements including alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, and metalloids commonly analyzed in ICP-MS applications.
2. Can this standard be used for both ICP-MS and ICP-OES instrumentation?
While optimized for ICP-MS, the solution can be used for ICP-OES after appropriate dilution, though some high-concentration elements may require additional dilution to fall within the optimal working range of optical emission spectrometers.
3. What is the recommended storage temperature for this standard solution?
Store at 15-25°C in the original container, protected from light. Avoid freezing as it may compromise the solution’s homogeneity and potentially alter the container’s integrity.
4. How does this compare to single-element standards for calibration?
This multi-element standard offers better efficiency for routine analysis by eliminating the need to prepare multiple single-element solutions, reducing preparation time and potential contamination risks associated with multiple handling steps.
5. What is the typical shelf life of this ICP standard solution?
When stored properly in unopened containers, the solution maintains its certified concentrations for 24 months from the date of manufacture, with most elements remaining stable for even longer periods.
