Product Overview
This Beryllium 1000 ppm ICP-ML single-element standard is engineered for high-precision trace metal analysis, delivering exceptional accuracy in inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) applications. Formulated with ultra-pure reagents and stabilized in a nitric acid matrix, this standard ensures minimal interference and maximum signal stability during analysis. The 1000 ppm concentration provides optimal sensitivity for calibration curves, while the NIST-traceable certification guarantees reliable, reproducible results across multiple testing cycles. The solution is packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles to prevent contamination and extend shelf life. Its low particulate content and consistent homogeneity make it ideal for demanding laboratory environments where analytical integrity is critical. The standard is compatible with most ICP-MS instruments and requires no additional preparation, reducing workflow complexity. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control testing to verify concentration accuracy and purity, ensuring compliance with international standards for trace element analysis.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Beryllium ICP standard?
When stored unopened at room temperature in its original container, this standard maintains its certified concentration for 24 months from the date of manufacture. Exposure to light or temperature fluctuations may reduce stability.
2. Can this standard be used with ICP-OES instruments?
While optimized for ICP-MS, this 1000 ppm Beryllium standard can be diluted for ICP-OES applications. However, matrix effects may require additional validation for optical emission spectrometry.
3. What diluent is recommended for preparing working standards?
Use 2% nitric acid (HNO₃) prepared from ultra-pure reagents as the diluent. This matches the standard’s matrix composition and minimizes potential contamination during dilution.
4. How should I handle potential Beryllium exposure risks?
Beryllium compounds are highly toxic. Always use in a certified fume hood with proper PPE including nitrile gloves, lab coat, and safety goggles. Follow your institution’s hazardous material protocols for disposal.
5. Are there lower concentration alternatives available?
For applications requiring different sensitivity ranges, consider serial dilution of this 1000 ppm standard or explore multi-element standards that include Beryllium at varying concentrations for comprehensive analysis.
