Product Overview
This Ytterbium 1000 ppm ICP single-element standard delivers exceptional purity and stability for demanding analytical applications. Formulated in a high-grade acid matrix, it ensures minimal interference and maximum accuracy in ICP-OES and ICP-MS instrumentation. The 1000 ppm concentration provides optimal sensitivity while maintaining long-term stability, making it ideal for calibration curves and quality control procedures. Each batch undergoes rigorous multi-point verification against NIST-traceable reference materials to guarantee consistency. The solution’s low particulate content and ultra-clean packaging prevent contamination during storage or transfer. Compatible with most autosamplers, this standard eliminates the need for time-consuming dilutions in routine analysis. Its extended shelf life under proper storage conditions reduces replacement frequency, offering cost-effective performance for high-throughput laboratories. The standardized formulation ensures reproducibility across different instruments and operators, critical for multi-site research collaborations.
FAQs
1. What matrix is used for this Ytterbium standard?
This standard uses a high-purity nitric acid matrix optimized for ICP applications, ensuring complete element solubility and minimal spectral interferences.
2. Can this standard be used with both ICP-OES and ICP-MS instruments?
The 1000 ppm concentration is suitable for both ICP-OES and ICP-MS, though you may need to dilute for ICP-MS depending on your instrument’s linear range requirements.
3. What’s the typical shelf life when stored properly?
When stored unopened at room temperature in its original container, this standard maintains its certified concentration for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
4. How should I handle potential contamination during sampling?
Use dedicated, acid-washed pipette tips and sample vials. Always work in a clean environment and avoid touching the bottle’s interior or cap threads.
5. What certification documentation comes with this standard?
Each bottle includes a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis detailing the certified concentration, uncertainty values, traceability information, and batch-specific quality control data.
