Product Overview
This NIST-traceable lead (Pb) standard solution is formulated at a precise 100µg/ml concentration, making it ideal for calibration and quality control in plasma-based analytical techniques. The Specpure® grade ensures minimal matrix interference, with impurities controlled below detectable limits for reliable quantification. The solution is stabilized in a high-purity acid matrix to prevent precipitation and maintain long-term stability. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to confirm concentration accuracy, with certification provided for traceability. The 50ml pack size offers an optimal balance between cost efficiency and usage volume for routine laboratory operations. Compatible with most ICP-OES, ICP-MS, and AAS systems, this standard eliminates the need for in-house preparation, reducing contamination risks. The solution’s low background signal ensures superior detection limits for lead analysis in complex sample matrices. Packaged in HDPE bottles to prevent leaching, it maintains integrity during storage and handling.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this NIST Pb standard solution?
The solution remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature, protected from light.
2. Can this standard be used for environmental water testing?
Yes, the ultra-low impurity profile makes it suitable for environmental applications, including drinking water and wastewater analysis.
3. What acid matrix is used for stabilization?
The solution is stabilized in 2% nitric acid (HNO₃), which is compatible with most plasma spectroscopy systems.
4. Is this standard compatible with mercury analysis?
While primarily designed for lead analysis, the solution can be used in multi-element calibration if mercury is not present in the sample matrix.
5. How should I dispose of unused solution?
Follow local regulations for heavy metal waste disposal; neutralize with appropriate reagents before disposal if required.
