Product Description
When precision matters in your lab, the right standards make all the difference. This 1000 ppm antimony ICP standard from Avantor is designed for researchers, students, and educators who demand accuracy in trace metal analysis. Whether you’re calibrating instruments for environmental testing, clinical diagnostics, or industrial quality control, this single-element standard ensures reliable results every time.
The solution is prepared in high-purity matrices to minimize interference, making it ideal for ICP-OES, ICP-MS, and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). With a concentration of 1000 ppm, it offers the flexibility to create working standards through simple dilution, saving you time and reducing errors in your workflow.
At eqipped, we understand the challenges of sourcing high-quality lab supplies in India. That’s why we’ve partnered with trusted brands like Avantor to bring you standards that meet international benchmarks. This antimony standard is no exception—it’s traceable, stable, and ready to use right out of the bottle.

Why This Antimony Standard Stands Out
Not all ICP standards are created equal. This Avantor product is manufactured under strict quality controls to ensure lot-to-lot consistency. The 1000 ppm concentration is optimized for most lab applications, eliminating the need for tedious preparations. Plus, the single-element format means you get pure antimony signals without cross-contamination risks from multi-element mixes.
For students working on academic projects, this standard simplifies calibration curves for antimony detection in water, soil, or biological samples. Researchers in toxicology or materials science will appreciate its stability, which is critical for long-term studies. Even educators can use it to demonstrate instrumental techniques with confidence.
Applications in Real-World Labs
From monitoring heavy metal pollution to analyzing pharmaceutical formulations, antimony standards play a key role in diverse fields. Here’s where this product excels:
Environmental Testing: Measure antimony levels in drinking water, wastewater, or soil samples to comply with regulatory limits. The high purity of this standard ensures your readings are free from matrix effects.
Clinical and Toxicology Labs: Antimony is a concern in occupational health and certain medical treatments. Use this standard to validate your methods for urine, blood, or tissue analysis.
Industrial Quality Control: Manufacturers of alloys, batteries, or semiconductors rely on precise antimony measurements. This standard helps maintain product consistency and safety.
Academic Research: Whether you’re studying antimony’s role in catalysis or its environmental fate, this standard provides the baseline data you need for publishable results.
Handling and Storage Tips
To maintain the integrity of your antimony ICP standard, follow these best practices:
Store the unopened bottle at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Once opened, tighten the cap securely after each use to prevent evaporation or contamination. For long-term storage, consider aliquoting the solution into smaller, airtight containers.
Always use clean, dedicated pipettes or syringes to avoid cross-contamination. If you notice any precipitation or discoloration, do not use the solution—contact eqipped’s support team for assistance.
Safety First: Working with Antimony Standards
Risk Note: Antimony compounds can be toxic if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. While this standard is diluted, it should still be handled with care. Wear appropriate PPE, including gloves and safety goggles, when using this product. Work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood. In case of spills, contain the liquid and clean up with absorbent materials, then dispose of waste according to local regulations.
Compatibility with Your Lab Equipment
This standard is compatible with most modern ICP and AAS instruments, including models from Agilent, PerkinElmer, Thermo Fisher, and Shimadzu. For best results, follow your instrument manufacturer’s guidelines for calibration and sample preparation. If you’re unsure about compatibility, eqipped’s technical team can help you verify specifications before purchase.

FAQs
What is the shelf life of this antimony standard?
When stored properly in its original container, this standard remains stable for at least 12 months from the date of manufacture. Always check the expiration date on the label before use.
Can I use this standard for both ICP-OES and ICP-MS?
Yes, this 1000 ppm antimony standard is suitable for both techniques. However, you may need to dilute it further for ICP-MS to avoid detector saturation, depending on your instrument’s sensitivity.
Is this standard traceable to NIST or other reference materials?
Avantor’s standards are manufactured using high-purity raw materials and are traceable to international reference standards, ensuring accuracy and reliability in your results.
Do I need to acidify this standard before use?
This standard is already stabilized in an acid matrix (typically nitric acid). Additional acidification is not required unless specified by your analytical method.
