This solution is prepared using high-purity calcium carbonate, dissolved in nitric acid, and standardized to meet Pharmacopoeia Europaea requirements. The Ph. Eur. grade ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for sensitive analytical techniques like atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis.
For students and educators, this calcium solution simplifies lab demonstrations and experiments, providing a ready-to-use reference standard. Researchers can rely on its consistency for repetitive testing, reducing variability in results. The 100 ml pack size is ideal for small to medium-scale lab work, offering enough volume without excessive waste.
Key Applications
This calcium solution is commonly used in:
- Calibration of analytical instruments like AAS and ICP
- Environmental water and soil testing for calcium content
- Pharmaceutical quality control and formulation testing
- Educational lab experiments in chemistry and biology
- Research involving calcium metabolism and biochemical assays
Why This Solution Stands Out
Not all calcium solutions are created equal. This Ph. Eur. grade solution offers:
- High purity with minimal interference from other ions
- Stable shelf life when stored properly
- Traceability to international standards for compliance
- Easy-to-use liquid form for quick preparation

Safety and Handling
While this solution is generally safe for lab use, it contains nitric acid, which can be corrosive. Always follow standard lab safety protocols:
- Wear appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles, lab coat)
- Handle in a well-ventilated area or fume hood
- Avoid skin and eye contact
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
Storage Recommendations
To maintain the integrity of your calcium solution:
- Keep the bottle tightly sealed when not in use
- Store at room temperature (15–25°C)
- Avoid freezing, as it may alter the concentration
- Check for precipitation before use; if present, do not use
FAQs
What is the shelf life of this calcium solution?
The solution typically has a shelf life of 12–24 months when stored properly. Always check the expiration date on the label.
Can I use this solution for AAS calibration?
Yes, this 1000 ppm calcium solution is ideal for calibrating atomic absorption spectrometers due to its high purity and Ph. Eur. compliance.
Is this solution ready to use, or does it require dilution?
It is ready to use as a stock solution. However, you may dilute it further depending on your specific application requirements.
What is the difference between Ph. Eur. and ACS grade?
Ph. Eur. (Pharmacopoeia Europaea) is a standard for pharmaceutical and analytical applications, while ACS (American Chemical Society) is another high-purity grade. Both are suitable for lab use, but Ph. Eur. is often preferred in European regulatory contexts.
How should I dispose of unused calcium solution?
Follow your lab’s chemical waste disposal guidelines. Neutralize with a base if necessary before disposal, and never pour it down the drain.
