Product Description
When your lab demands uncompromising accuracy, the Aluminum Plasma Standard Solution (Specpure®, 10,000µg/ml) from eqipped delivers traceable, high-purity results. Designed for researchers, educators, and students working with ICP-OES, ICP-MS, or atomic absorption spectroscopy, this standard solution ensures consistent calibration and validation of aluminum measurements.
Unlike generic standards, Specpure® aluminum solutions are manufactured under strict quality controls, minimizing matrix interferences and ensuring long-term stability. Whether you’re analyzing environmental samples, metallurgical alloys, or biological tissues, this 10,000µg/ml concentration provides the flexibility to prepare working standards across a wide dynamic range.
Why This Aluminum Standard Stands Out
Precision in analytical chemistry starts with the right reference materials. This aluminum standard solution is:
- Certified for traceability to NIST SRM or equivalent primary standards.
- Stable for 24+ months when stored properly, reducing waste and reorder frequency.
- Compatible with most acid matrices (HNO₃, HCl), simplifying sample preparation.
For labs running high-throughput analyses, the 500ml pack size offers cost efficiency without sacrificing quality. Smaller volumes (50ml, 100ml) are ideal for occasional use or teaching labs where shelf life is a priority.
Applications in Real-World Research
From soil testing to pharmaceutical quality control, aluminum quantification is critical across disciplines. Common uses include:
- Environmental monitoring: Detecting aluminum leaching in water sources.
- Material science: Verifying alloy compositions in aerospace or automotive components.
- Clinical research: Studying aluminum exposure in biological fluids.
Students and educators will appreciate the solution’s reliability in training exercises, where inconsistent standards can lead to misleading results. Pair it with eqipped’s range of lab consumables for a seamless workflow.
Handling and Storage
To maintain integrity, store the solution at 15–25°C in its original container. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or contaminants. Always use acid-washed glassware or plasticware to prevent cross-contamination.

Safety Considerations
While this solution is non-hazardous at the given concentration, standard lab safety practices apply:
- Wear nitrile gloves and safety goggles during handling.
- Work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood.
- Dispose of waste according to local regulations for chemical solutions.
FAQs
What is the shelf life of this aluminum standard solution?
The solution remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature. Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal accuracy.
Can I use this standard for both ICP and AAS?
Yes, the 10,000µg/ml concentration is suitable for preparing working standards for ICP-OES, ICP-MS, and atomic absorption spectroscopy. Dilution may be required based on your instrument’s sensitivity.
Is this solution compatible with organic solvents?
No, this aqueous standard is designed for water-based matrices. For organic solvent applications, consult eqipped’s technical team for alternative formulations.
How do I verify the concentration of this standard?
Each batch includes a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) with traceable concentration data. You can also validate it against a secondary standard or through interlaboratory comparisons.
What pack size is best for occasional use?
For labs with intermittent testing needs, the 50ml or 100ml sizes minimize waste while providing enough volume for multiple calibrations.
