Product Overview
This Terbium 10 ppm ICP-ML single-element standard is a high-purity aqueous solution designed for precise trace metal analysis in laboratory settings. Formulated to meet the stringent requirements of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), this standard ensures exceptional accuracy and reproducibility in quantitative measurements. The solution is prepared using ultra-pure reagents and deionized water to minimize background interference, making it suitable for low-level detection applications. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to verify concentration accuracy, with certification provided for traceability. The stable matrix composition prevents precipitation or degradation over time, maintaining consistency throughout the product’s shelf life. This standard is particularly valuable for laboratories requiring reliable calibration curves or quality control checks in elemental analysis workflows. The 10 ppm concentration offers an optimal balance between sensitivity and dynamic range for most ICP-MS instruments. Packaged in high-density polyethylene bottles to prevent contamination, this standard maintains its integrity during storage and handling. The solution’s homogeneity ensures uniform sampling, while its low acidity minimizes instrument wear during prolonged use.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Terbium ICP standard?
When stored unopened at room temperature in its original container, this standard maintains its specified concentration for 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this standard be used with ICP-OES instruments?
While optimized for ICP-MS, this 10 ppm Terbium standard can be used with ICP-OES instruments, though you may need to adjust dilution factors based on your specific detection limits and linear range requirements.
3. What matrix components are present in this solution?
The solution contains ultra-pure nitric acid as the primary matrix component, with the concentration optimized to maintain element stability while being compatible with most ICP-MS instruments.
4. How should I handle potential contamination risks?
Always use dedicated, acid-washed volumetric pipettes and containers when handling this standard. Work in a clean environment and avoid exposure to airborne particulates that could introduce contaminants.
5. What documentation comes with this standard?
Each bottle includes a certificate of analysis detailing the exact concentration, uncertainty values, preparation date, and recommended storage conditions for full traceability.
