Product Overview
This ICP-ML single-element calibration standard delivers exceptional precision for quantitative elemental analysis in advanced spectroscopic techniques. Formulated with ultra-high-purity reagents, it provides a stable 1000 µg/mL concentration in a nitric acid matrix (2-5% v/v), ensuring minimal matrix interference during analysis. The solution undergoes rigorous quality control, including multi-point verification against NIST-traceable reference materials, to guarantee ±1% relative accuracy. Packaged in HDPE bottles with tamper-evident seals, it maintains integrity during storage and transport. The low-particulate formulation minimizes nebulizer clogging in ICP systems, while the extended shelf life (24 months unopened) reduces replacement frequency. Compatible with most ICP-MS and ICP-OES instruments, this standard eliminates the need for complex in-house preparations, saving valuable lab time. The accompanying certificate of analysis provides complete traceability, including lot-specific data on certified values, uncertainty measurements, and preparation methodology.
FAQs
1. What is the matrix composition of this ICP-ML standard?
This standard uses a 2-5% v/v nitric acid matrix, optimized for compatibility with most ICP systems while maintaining element stability.
2. Can this standard be used for both ICP-MS and ICP-OES applications?
Yes, the 1000 µg/mL concentration is suitable for both techniques, though you may need to dilute it further for ICP-OES applications depending on your instrument’s linear range.
3. How should I store this calibration standard after opening?
After opening, store the bottle tightly sealed at 15-25°C, protected from light. Use within 6 months of opening for optimal accuracy.
4. What documentation comes with this standard?
Each bottle includes a certificate of analysis with lot-specific data, certified values, uncertainty measurements, and preparation methodology details.
5. Are there any special handling precautions for this standard?
While not hazardous at this concentration, standard lab safety practices should be followed. Wear appropriate PPE and handle in a fume hood when preparing dilutions.
