Product Overview
The Rhodium 1000 ppm ICP single-element standard is a high-purity reference solution designed for precise trace metal quantification using Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) techniques. Formulated in a stabilized nitric acid matrix, this standard ensures minimal interference and maximum accuracy in analytical workflows. The 1000 ppm concentration provides an optimal balance between sensitivity and dynamic range, making it suitable for both routine calibration and complex sample analysis. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to guarantee consistency, with certified values traceable to NIST or equivalent standards. The solution is packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles to prevent contamination and ensure long-term stability. Its low background impurity profile (<10 ppb for most common interferents) eliminates false positives in ultra-trace applications. Compatible with all major ICP-MS and ICP-OES instruments, this standard delivers reproducible results across different laboratory setups. The nitric acid base (2-5%) maintains element solubility while preventing precipitation or adsorption losses during storage.
FAQs
1
What is the shelf life of this Rhodium ICP standard when stored properly?
The standard remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at 15-25°C in its original container. 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 1000 ppm concentration is suitable for both techniques, though you may need to dilute it further for ICP-OES applications depending on your instrument’s linear range. 3
What material are the bottles made of, and are they leak-proof?
The bottles are made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with tamper-evident, screw-cap closures that provide an airtight seal to prevent leaks or contamination. 4
Is this standard compatible with organic solvents for sample preparation?
This standard is aqueous-based and not designed for direct mixing with organic solvents. For organic matrices, consider our organometallic standards or perform proper digestion first. 5
How should I dispose of unused or expired Rhodium standard solution?
Follow your institution’s chemical waste disposal protocols for heavy metal solutions. Neutralize with appropriate reagents if required before disposal as hazardous waste.
