Product Overview
The Aluminum 10 ppm ICP-ML single-element standard is a high-purity liquid solution designed for precise calibration in inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Formulated with ultra-low contamination risk, this standard ensures accurate quantification of aluminum in environmental, pharmaceutical, and industrial samples. The 10 ppm concentration provides optimal sensitivity for trace-level detection, while the ICP-ML grade guarantees minimal matrix interference. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to verify stability and homogeneity, with traceability to NIST or equivalent reference materials. The solution is compatible with most ICP instruments and can be diluted further for lower detection limits. Packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles to prevent leaching, it maintains integrity during storage and handling. Ideal for laboratories requiring consistent, reliable standards for routine or high-throughput analysis.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Aluminum 10 ppm ICP-ML standard?
When stored unopened at room temperature (15-25°C), the standard remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
2. Can this standard be used for ICP-OES as well as ICP-MS?
Yes, the 10 ppm concentration is suitable for both ICP-MS and ICP-OES applications, though dilution may be required for ICP-OES depending on your instrument’s sensitivity requirements.
3. Is this standard compatible with autodilution systems?
The solution is free of particulates and surfactants, making it compatible with most automated dilution systems. However, verify your system’s specifications for liquid viscosity tolerances.
4. What is the matrix composition of this standard?
The standard is prepared in a dilute nitric acid matrix (typically 2-5% v/v) to ensure solubility and stability of the aluminum ions without introducing interfering elements.
5. How should I dispose of unused or expired standard?
Follow local regulations for chemical waste disposal. Neutralize with a compatible base if required, then dispose of through an authorized hazardous waste handler. Do not pour down drains.
