Product Overview
The Potassium 10 ppm ICP-ML single-element standard is a high-purity solution designed for precise trace element analysis in laboratory settings. Formulated to meet stringent ICP-ML grade specifications, this standard ensures exceptional accuracy and consistency in spectroscopic applications. The solution is prepared using ultra-pure reagents and deionized water, minimizing matrix interferences to deliver reliable calibration and quantification results. Its stable formulation prevents degradation over time, maintaining concentration integrity throughout the product’s shelf life. The 10 ppm concentration provides an optimal balance for both low-level detection and higher concentration measurements when diluted appropriately. This standard is particularly valuable for laboratories requiring NIST-traceable reference materials, as it undergoes rigorous quality control testing to verify concentration accuracy. The solution’s compatibility with most ICP-MS and ICP-OES instruments makes it versatile for various analytical workflows. Packaged in high-density polyethylene bottles, it resists chemical leaching while protecting against contamination. Each batch includes a certificate of analysis documenting the exact concentration, uncertainty values, and expiration date for complete traceability in quality assurance protocols.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Potassium ICP standard?
The product maintains its certified concentration for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature. Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal accuracy.
2. Can this standard be used for both ICP-MS and ICP-OES applications?
Yes, the 10 ppm concentration is suitable for both ICP-MS and ICP-OES instruments, though you may need to dilute it further for ICP-MS applications depending on your specific detection requirements.
3. What material is used for the packaging bottle?
The solution comes in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles that are chemically resistant and designed to prevent leaching of contaminants into the standard solution.
4. Is this standard compatible with organic solvents?
This aqueous standard is not designed for direct mixing with organic solvents. For organic matrices, consider our organometallic standards or consult our technical team for compatibility recommendations.
5. How should I verify the concentration before use?
While each batch includes a certificate of analysis, you can perform an independent verification by analyzing the standard against a freshly prepared reference material of known concentration using your instrument’s calibration protocol.
