Product Overview
The Strontium 10 ppm ICP-ML single-element standard is a high-purity, aqueous solution designed for precise trace element analysis in laboratory settings. Formulated with ultra-pure reagents, this standard ensures minimal matrix interference, making it ideal for inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) applications. The 10 ppm concentration provides optimal sensitivity for calibration curves, method validation, and quality control procedures. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to guarantee accuracy, stability, and long-term consistency, with full traceability to NIST or equivalent reference materials. The solution is packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles to prevent contamination and ensure sample integrity. Its low acidity and balanced pH minimize instrument wear, extending the lifespan of analytical equipment. Whether used for environmental monitoring, geological research, or industrial process control, this Strontium standard delivers reliable, reproducible results for demanding analytical workflows. The single-element format eliminates cross-contamination risks associated with multi-element standards, while the ICP-ML grade certification confirms compliance with international purity standards. For laboratories requiring uncompromising precision, this standard represents a cost-effective solution that reduces recalibration frequency and improves data confidence.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Strontium 10 ppm standard?
The standard remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature. Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal accuracy.
2. Is this standard compatible with both ICP-MS and ICP-OES instruments?
Yes, the 10 ppm concentration is suitable for both ICP-MS and ICP-OES applications, though you may need to dilute it further for ICP-MS depending on your instrument’s sensitivity requirements.
3. What acid matrix is used in this Strontium standard?
The solution uses a nitric acid matrix (typically 2-5%) to stabilize the Strontium ions and prevent precipitation, which is standard for ICP applications.
4. Can this standard be used for preparing calibration curves?
Absolutely. The certified 10 ppm concentration allows for accurate serial dilutions to create multi-point calibration curves for quantitative analysis.
5. How should I handle potential contamination risks when using this standard?
Use dedicated, acid-washed pipettes and containers. Always work in a clean environment, preferably under a laminar flow hood, and avoid touching the bottle’s interior or cap.
