Product Overview
This Barium plasma standard solution (10,000µg/ml) from Specpure® is meticulously formulated for high-precision analytical applications, particularly in inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The solution is prepared using ultra-pure barium salts dissolved in a stabilized matrix, ensuring long-term stability and minimal interference from contaminants. The Specpure® grade guarantees traceability to NIST standards, making it a reliable reference material for calibration curves, method validation, and quality control in laboratories. The aqueous formulation eliminates the need for additional dissolution steps, saving time while maintaining consistency across experiments. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for homogeneity and concentration accuracy, with certificates of analysis provided for full transparency. The solution is packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles to prevent leaching or degradation, preserving integrity during storage and handling. Whether used in environmental testing, material science, or industrial process monitoring, this standard delivers reproducible results with minimal matrix effects, reducing the risk of systematic errors in quantitative analysis.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Barium plasma standard solution?
The solution remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature (15–25°C). Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal accuracy.
2. Is this solution compatible with organic solvents for dilution?
No, this aqueous standard is designed for water-based dilutions. Mixing with organic solvents may cause precipitation or instability. Use deionized water for dilutions.
3. Can this standard be used for ICP-MS analysis?
While primarily optimized for ICP-OES/AAS, it can be used for ICP-MS if further diluted to avoid detector saturation. Verify instrument-specific limits before use.
4. How is the concentration of 10,000µg/ml verified?
The concentration is validated via gravimetric preparation and cross-checked using reference methods like ICP-OES. Certificates of analysis include batch-specific verification data.
5. Are there alternatives for lower concentration requirements?
For working standards below 10,000µg/ml, dilute this solution using the provided instructions. Pre-diluted standards at 1,000µg/ml or 100µg/ml are also available separately.
