Product Overview

This mercury 1000 ppm ICP-ML single-element standard is formulated for high-precision trace metal analysis, ensuring accurate calibration and validation of ICP-MS instruments. Prepared in a high-purity acid matrix, it minimizes interferences and maximizes stability, making it suitable for demanding applications where consistency is critical. The standard is NIST-traceable, providing confidence in measurement accuracy and reproducibility. Its low-particle formulation reduces clogging risks in nebulizers and spray chambers, while the sealed packaging preserves integrity during storage. The solution is compatible with most ICP-MS systems and can be diluted as needed for lower concentration requirements. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to meet strict analytical standards, ensuring reliable performance across diverse testing environments.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of this mercury ICP standard?

When stored unopened at room temperature, this standard remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture. Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal accuracy.

2. Is this standard compatible with ICP-OES instruments?

While optimized for ICP-MS, it can be used with ICP-OES systems, though matrix effects should be evaluated for your specific application.

3. What alternative mercury standards do you offer?

We provide mercury standards in 10 ppm, 100 ppm, and 1000 ppm concentrations, as well as multi-element mixes containing mercury for broader applications.

4. How should I store this standard to maintain stability?

Store upright in its original container at 15-25°C, away from direct sunlight and incompatible chemicals. Avoid freezing to prevent container damage.

5. What acid matrix is used in this standard?

The standard is prepared in a 2% nitric acid matrix, which provides optimal stability for mercury while minimizing background interferences during analysis.
