Product Description
When precision matters in your lab, the right standards make all the difference. The Calcium, 10 ppm ICP-ML, single-element standard from Avantor is designed for researchers, students, and educators who demand accuracy in their ICP-based analyses. Whether you’re calibrating instruments, validating methods, or conducting routine testing, this high-purity solution ensures reliable results every time.
Calcium is a critical element in environmental, biological, and industrial samples. This 10 ppm standard is optimized for ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy) and ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry), providing a stable reference for quantitative measurements. The single-element formulation eliminates interference risks, making it ideal for both academic labs and professional research settings.
At eqipped, we understand the importance of quality in lab supplies. That’s why we source standards like this from trusted brands like Avantor, ensuring you get consistent performance with every batch. Whether you’re a student learning the basics of ICP analysis or a researcher pushing the boundaries of elemental detection, this calcium standard is a dependable choice.

Why This Calcium Standard Stands Out
Not all ICP standards are created equal. This 10 ppm calcium solution is manufactured under strict quality controls to meet the demands of modern laboratories. The ICP-ML grade guarantees minimal matrix effects, reducing the need for complex corrections during analysis. For educators, this means clearer demonstrations of ICP principles. For researchers, it translates to more confident data interpretation.
Compatibility is another key advantage. The standard works seamlessly with most ICP instruments, whether you’re using a high-end research-grade system or a benchtop unit in a teaching lab. The 100 ml pack size offers enough volume for multiple calibrations without excessive waste, making it a cost-effective choice for frequent users.
Applications in Real-World Labs
From environmental monitoring to food safety testing, calcium analysis plays a vital role across disciplines. Here’s how this standard fits into common workflows:
In environmental labs, it helps quantify calcium levels in water, soil, and sediment samples, supporting studies on pollution and mineral cycling. Clinical and pharmaceutical researchers use it to validate calcium content in biological fluids and drug formulations. Even in materials science, it aids in analyzing calcium-based compounds in ceramics and alloys.
For students, this standard is an excellent tool for learning calibration techniques. Its predictable concentration allows for straightforward dilution exercises, helping build foundational skills in analytical chemistry.
Handling and Storage Tips
To maintain the integrity of your calcium standard, store the unopened bottle at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Once opened, recap tightly after each use to prevent contamination or evaporation. While this solution is stable under normal lab conditions, avoid freezing or exposing it to extreme temperatures.
Always use clean, dedicated pipettes or dispensers to prevent cross-contamination. If you notice any precipitation or discoloration, do not use the solution—contact eqipped’s support team for guidance.
Safety Considerations
This product is generally non-hazardous under normal use, but standard lab safety practices apply. Wear appropriate PPE, such as gloves and goggles, when handling. In case of skin or eye contact, rinse thoroughly with water. For disposal, follow your institution’s chemical waste protocols.
FAQs
What is the shelf life of this calcium ICP standard?
The shelf life is typically 12–24 months when stored properly in its original container. Always check the label for the exact expiration date.
Can I use this standard for both ICP-OES and ICP-MS?
Yes, this 10 ppm calcium standard is suitable for both techniques, though you may need to adjust dilution factors based on your instrument’s sensitivity.
Is this standard traceable to NIST or other reference materials?
Avantor’s ICP standards are manufactured with traceability to NIST or equivalent reference materials, ensuring high accuracy.
How should I prepare working standards from this solution?
Use serial dilution with high-purity water or matrix-matched solutions. For best results, prepare fresh dilutions daily.
