Product Overview
This titanium AAS standard solution from Specpure® delivers exceptional purity and stability, formulated at a concentration of 1000µg/ml for high-precision atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The solution is prepared using ultra-pure titanium metal dissolved in high-quality acids, ensuring minimal matrix interference and maximum accuracy in trace metal quantification. Its Specpure® grade guarantees low background contamination, making it ideal for calibration curves, method validation, and routine laboratory analysis where consistency is critical. The aqueous-based formulation eliminates the need for additional dilution in most applications, reducing preparation time while maintaining long-term stability when stored under recommended conditions. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to meet international standards, with certificates of analysis provided for full traceability. The solution’s homogeneous composition ensures uniform distribution of titanium ions, preventing precipitation or segregation over time. Compatible with most modern AAS and ICP instruments, this standard solution minimizes instrument drift and enhances reproducibility across multiple runs. The 100ml and 500ml pack sizes offer flexibility for laboratories with varying throughput requirements, while the leak-proof packaging preserves integrity during storage and handling.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this titanium AAS standard solution when unopened?
The unopened solution remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored at 15–25°C in its original packaging, protected from light and moisture. Always check the certificate of analysis for batch-specific expiration details.
2. Can this standard be used directly for ICP-MS analysis without further dilution?
While optimized for AAS and ICP-OES, the 1000µg/ml concentration may exceed the linear range of most ICP-MS instruments. Dilution with ultra-pure water or matrix-matched solutions is typically required to avoid detector saturation and ensure accurate readings.
3. What materials are used in the packaging to prevent contamination?
The solution is supplied in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles with polypropylene (PP) caps, both tested for trace metal leaching. The packaging undergoes pre-cleaning with ultra-pure acids to minimize potential contamination from container surfaces.
4. How does the Specpure® grade differ from standard reagent-grade titanium solutions?
Specpure® grade undergoes additional purification steps to remove residual impurities (e.g., Fe, Al, V) that could interfere with low-level titanium detection. It is certified for sub-ppb contamination levels, unlike reagent-grade solutions, which may contain higher background metals.
5. Is this solution compatible with automated liquid handling systems?
Yes, the solution’s viscosity and surface tension are optimized for compatibility with most automated pipetting and dilution systems. However, we recommend verifying compatibility with your specific instrument’s fluidics to avoid carryover or dispensing errors.
