Form – Liquid (aqueous solution)
Grade – ICP-ML (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry)
Application – Trace elemental analysis, calibration, and quality control
Product Overview
This Rubidium 10 ppm ICP-ML single-element standard is a high-precision solution designed for inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) applications. Formulated with ultra-pure reagents and deionized water, it ensures minimal matrix interference and maximum accuracy in trace elemental analysis. The standard is stabilized to prevent precipitation or degradation over time, maintaining consistency across multiple uses. Its NIST-traceable certification guarantees reliable calibration and validation, making it suitable for laboratories requiring stringent quality control. The aqueous form allows for easy dilution and integration into existing workflows without additional preparation. Packaged in a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottle, it resists contamination and chemical leaching, preserving the integrity of the solution. Whether used for routine testing or specialized research, this standard delivers reproducible results with minimal variability, supporting compliance with international analytical standards.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Rubidium ICP standard?
When stored unopened at room temperature in its original container, this standard remains stable for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
2. Is this standard compatible with ICP-OES instruments?
While optimized for ICP-MS, this 10 ppm Rubidium standard can be used with ICP-OES (Optical Emission Spectrometry) after appropriate dilution to match the instrument’s linear range and detection limits.
3. Are there lower or higher concentration alternatives available?
Alternative concentrations, such as 1 ppm or 100 ppm Rubidium standards, may be available. Check the product catalog or contact support for custom formulations tailored to specific analytical needs.
4. How should I handle and store this solution to prevent contamination?
Use clean, dedicated pipettes or dispensers to avoid cross-contamination. Store the bottle tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, and avoid transferring the solution to non-inert containers, as this may introduce impurities.
5. Does this standard require any special disposal procedures?
As a non-hazardous aqueous solution, it can typically be disposed of according to local laboratory waste regulations. However, always neutralize or dilute as per institutional protocols before disposal to ensure compliance with environmental guidelines.
