Product Overview
This Antimony 10 ppm ICP-ML single-element standard is meticulously formulated for high-precision analytical applications, ensuring accuracy in trace metal analysis. The solution is prepared using ultra-pure reagents and deionized water, minimizing matrix interferences for reliable calibration curves in ICP-OES, ICP-MS, and AAS systems. Its traceability to NIST standards guarantees consistent performance across multiple batches, making it indispensable for laboratories requiring strict quality control. The 100 ml pack size offers an optimal balance between cost-efficiency and usage frequency, reducing the need for frequent replenishment. The solution remains stable for extended periods when stored properly, maintaining its certified concentration without degradation. Its compatibility with most standard labware eliminates the risk of contamination, while the clear labeling ensures easy identification and handling. Whether used for routine calibration or research-grade analysis, this standard delivers repeatable results with minimal variability, supporting compliance with international testing protocols.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Antimony standard when unopened?
The unopened standard remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
2. Can this standard be used for both ICP-OES and ICP-MS applications?
Yes, the 10 ppm concentration is suitable for calibration in both ICP-OES and ICP-MS, though dilution may be required for ICP-MS depending on your instrument’s sensitivity.
3. Is this standard compatible with autoclaving for sterilization?
Autoclaving is not recommended as it may alter the concentration. Use aseptic techniques or sterile filtration if microbial contamination is a concern.
4. What material is used for the packaging to prevent leaching?
The standard is packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles that are tested for trace metal leaching to ensure no contamination.
5. How should I dispose of unused or expired Antimony standard?
Follow local hazardous waste disposal regulations. Neutralize with appropriate reagents if required before disposal in designated chemical waste containers.
