Product Overview
This Specpure® arsenic plasma standard solution delivers exceptional purity and stability for demanding trace metal analysis applications. Formulated at 10,000µg/ml concentration in a 10% nitric acid matrix, it provides a reliable reference for ICP-OES, AAS, and ICP-MS instrumentation. The solution is manufactured under stringent quality controls to ensure lot-to-lot consistency and NIST-traceable accuracy. Packaged in high-density polyethylene bottles to prevent contamination, this standard maintains its integrity throughout its shelf life. The ultra-low impurity profile makes it particularly suitable for environmental testing, pharmaceutical analysis, and materials characterization where arsenic quantification is critical. Each batch undergoes rigorous multi-element analysis to guarantee freedom from interfering contaminants. The solution’s stability is enhanced through specialized purification processes that remove particulate matter and organic residues. For laboratories requiring the highest precision in arsenic determination, this Specpure® standard offers an optimal balance of concentration, matrix compatibility, and long-term stability.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this arsenic plasma 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.
2. Can this standard be used for mercury analysis as well?
This solution is specifically formulated for arsenic determination. For mercury analysis, we recommend using our dedicated mercury plasma standards to avoid cross-contamination and ensure accurate results.
3. What is the typical uncertainty value for this standard?
The expanded uncertainty (k=2) for this 10,000µg/ml arsenic standard is typically ≤1%, as verified through multiple independent analytical techniques during certification.
4. How should I handle the empty bottles after use?
Rinse the HDPE bottles thoroughly with deionized water before disposal. For complete decontamination, soak in 10% nitric acid solution overnight, then rinse and dispose according to local hazardous waste regulations.
5. Is this standard compatible with organic solvents?
The nitric acid matrix makes this standard primarily suitable for aqueous systems. For organic solvent applications, consider our organometallic arsenic standards formulated in appropriate solvent matrices.
