Form – Liquid (aqueous solution)
Grade – ICP-MS/ICP-OES certified
Application – Trace element analysis, calibration standards, quality control
Product Overview
This phosphorus 10 ppm single-element standard is meticulously formulated for inductively coupled plasma (ICP) applications, ensuring exceptional purity and consistency for critical analytical workflows. The solution is prepared using ultra-high-purity reagents in a Class 100 cleanroom environment, eliminating potential contaminants that could compromise your results. Each batch undergoes rigorous multi-point calibration against NIST-traceable reference materials, guaranteeing ±2% accuracy across the entire concentration range. The matrix composition is optimized for minimal spectral interferences, making it particularly suitable for complex sample matrices in environmental, pharmaceutical, and materials testing. Packaged in HDPE bottles with tamper-evident seals, the standard maintains stability for 24 months when stored properly. The low acidity formulation (2% HNO₃) preserves instrument components while ensuring complete element solubility. Whether used for daily calibration, method validation, or quality assurance protocols, this standard delivers reproducible performance across ICP-OES and ICP-MS platforms without requiring additional sample preparation steps.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this phosphorus standard when unopened?
The unopened standard maintains its certified concentration for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored at 15-25°C in its original packaging.
2. Can this standard be used for both ICP-OES and ICP-MS applications?
Yes, the formulation is compatible with both ICP-OES and ICP-MS instruments, though you may need to adjust dilution factors based on your specific detection limits and instrument sensitivity.
3. What is the matrix composition of this standard solution?
The solution contains 2% high-purity nitric acid (HNO₃) as the stabilizer, with the remainder being 18.2 MΩ/cm Type I water, ensuring minimal background interference during analysis.
4. How should I handle potential contamination when using this standard?
Always use dedicated, acid-washed volumetric pipettes and containers. Work in a laminar flow hood when possible, and avoid repeated puncturing of the septum to prevent particulate introduction.
5. What documentation is provided with each bottle?
Every unit includes a certificate of analysis with batch-specific data, traceability information, preparation date, and recommended storage conditions, along with a safety data sheet.
