Product Overview

The Zirconium 1000 ppm ICP-ML single-element standard is a high-purity liquid solution designed for precise trace metal analysis in laboratory settings. Formulated with ICP-ML grade purity, this standard ensures accurate calibration and quantification in ICP-MS and spectroscopy applications. The solution is stabilized to prevent precipitation and degradation, maintaining consistent performance over extended storage periods. Its low matrix interference makes it ideal for sensitive analytical techniques where contamination risks must be minimized. The 1000 ppm concentration provides an optimal balance between sensitivity and dynamic range, allowing for reliable detection of zirconium across various sample types. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to guarantee traceability and compliance with international standards. The liquid form ensures easy handling and uniform distribution during sample preparation. This standard is particularly valuable in research and testing environments where reproducibility and precision are critical. Its compatibility with most ICP-MS instruments eliminates the need for additional adjustments, streamlining workflow efficiency. The product’s stability under standard laboratory conditions reduces the frequency of recalibration, saving both time and resources.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of this Zirconium ICP standard?

The shelf life is typically 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Always check the label for the exact expiration date as it may vary by batch.

2. Can this standard be used for ICP-OES applications?

While primarily designed for ICP-MS, this 1000 ppm Zirconium standard can be used for ICP-OES applications, though you may need to dilute it further depending on your instrument’s sensitivity requirements and the specific analytical method being employed.

3. What dilution factors are recommended for this standard?

Dilution factors depend on your specific application and instrument sensitivity. For most ICP-MS applications, a 1:100 to 1:1000 dilution is common, but always validate with your standard operating procedures and instrument calibration requirements.

4. Is this standard compatible with organic solvents?

This aqueous-based standard is not designed for direct use with organic solvents. For organic matrices, consider using organometallic standards or consult with your supplier for compatible alternatives that match your solvent system.

5. How should I handle potential contamination during use?

To prevent contamination, always use clean, dedicated pipettes and containers. Work in a laminar flow hood when possible, and avoid touching the bottle’s opening. Store the standard in its original container and tightly seal it after each use to maintain integrity.
