Product Overview
This Thulium 10ppm ICP-ML single-element standard delivers exceptional purity and stability for high-precision elemental analysis applications. Formulated in a matrix-compatible aqueous solution, it ensures minimal interference and maximum instrument sensitivity. The standard is manufactured under strict ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025 guidelines, providing NIST-traceable certification for reliable quantitative measurements. Its low acidity (typically <2% HNO₃) preserves instrument longevity while maintaining element stability over extended storage periods. The solution undergoes rigorous multi-stage purification to eliminate contaminants, with verified homogeneity through advanced spectroscopic techniques. Packaged in HDPE bottles with tamper-evident seals, the standard maintains integrity during transport and storage. Each batch includes a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis detailing the exact concentration, uncertainty values, and expiration date. The 10ppm concentration offers optimal sensitivity for both routine analysis and research applications requiring ultra-low detection limits. Compatible with all major ICP-MS and ICP-OES systems, this standard eliminates the need for complex dilutions while delivering consistent performance across analytical platforms.
FAQs
1. What is the matrix composition of this Thulium standard?
The standard is prepared in a dilute nitric acid matrix (typically <2% HNO₃) to ensure stability and compatibility with ICP instrumentation. The exact matrix composition is specified in the Certificate of Analysis provided with each batch.
2. How should this standard be stored for long-term stability?
Store the unopened standard at room temperature (15-25°C) in its original container, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Once opened, tightly recap the bottle after each use and store upright to prevent contamination. Under these conditions, the standard maintains its specified concentration for the duration of the expiration period indicated on the label.
3. Is this standard compatible with organic solvent-based ICP applications?
This aqueous-based standard is optimized for traditional ICP-MS/OES applications. For organic solvent-based systems, we recommend our organometallic standards or consulting our technical team for appropriate alternatives that match your specific solvent requirements.
4. What certification documentation accompanies this product?
Each unit includes a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis that details the exact Thulium concentration, measurement uncertainty, traceability information, batch number, expiration date, and storage instructions. The certification follows ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025 standards for reference material production.
5. Can this standard be used for both ICP-MS and ICP-OES applications?
Yes, the 10ppm concentration is suitable for both ICP-MS and ICP-OES applications. The standard’s purity and matrix composition are optimized to minimize spectral interferences in both techniques, though you may need to adjust dilution factors based on your specific instrument’s sensitivity requirements and the expected concentration range of your samples.
