Product Name – ICP-MS multi-element standard solution, 12 elements, 10 mg/L
Quantity/Pack Size – 100 mL
Form – Liquid
Grade – ICP-MS
Application – Trace metal analysis, instrument calibration
Product Overview
The ICP-MS multi-element standard solution contains 12 precisely quantified elements at 10 mg/L concentration, dissolved in a high-purity nitric acid matrix. This solution is manufactured under ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025 accredited processes, ensuring exceptional accuracy and traceability to NIST reference materials. The ultra-low background matrix minimizes spectral interferences, making it ideal for sensitive multi-element analysis. Each batch undergoes rigorous homogeneity and stability testing to guarantee consistent performance across instruments. The solution is packaged in HDPE bottles with tamper-evident seals to prevent contamination during storage and handling. The 12-element composition includes both common and challenging analytes, providing comprehensive coverage for routine and specialized applications. The 10 mg/L concentration offers optimal signal intensity while maintaining linear calibration ranges. This standard solution eliminates the need for multiple single-element standards, reducing preparation time and potential errors in multi-element analysis.
FAQs
1. What elements are included in this 12-element standard solution?
The solution contains a balanced selection of environmentally and industrially relevant elements including alkaline earth metals, transition metals, and metalloids commonly analyzed in ICP-MS applications.
2. How should this standard solution be stored for maximum shelf life?
Store unopened bottles at 15-25°C in their original packaging, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Once opened, tightly recap and store upright to prevent leakage or contamination.
3. Is this solution compatible with all ICP-MS instruments?
Yes, the solution is formulated to be compatible with all major ICP-MS systems including those from Agilent, PerkinElmer, Thermo Scientific, and Shimadzu when used according to manufacturer guidelines.
4. What is the typical uncertainty for the certified concentrations?
The expanded uncertainty for each element is typically <5% at 95% confidence level, with full uncertainty statements provided in the accompanying certificate of analysis.
5. Can this solution be used for semi-quantitative analysis?
While primarily designed for quantitative analysis, the solution can support semi-quantitative applications when appropriate dilution factors and instrument response corrections are applied.
