Product Description
When precision matters in your lab, the Chromium ICP Standard Traceable to SRM F from Merck delivers unmatched accuracy for atomic spectroscopy applications. Designed for researchers, students, and quality control professionals, this 100 mL solution ensures reliable calibration and validation of chromium measurements in environmental, industrial, and clinical samples.
Traceability to SRM F guarantees compliance with international standards, making it a trusted choice for ICP-OES and ICP-MS analyses. Whether you’re testing water samples for heavy metals or verifying alloy compositions, this standard solution provides consistent, reproducible results every time.
At eqipped, we understand the importance of high-quality reagents in scientific workflows. That’s why we source this chromium standard directly from Merck, a leader in analytical chemistry, so you can focus on your research without compromising on data integrity.
Why This Chromium Standard Stands Out
Not all ICP standards are created equal. This Merck-certified solution offers:
Unmatched Traceability: Directly traceable to NIST SRM F, ensuring your results meet regulatory and ISO 17025 requirements.
Stability You Can Trust: Formulated for long-term stability, reducing the need for frequent recalibration and saving you time in the lab.
Versatile Applications: Ideal for environmental monitoring, metallurgy, pharmaceutical testing, and academic research projects.
Ready-to-Use Convenience: Pre-mixed solution eliminates preparation errors, so you can start analyzing samples immediately.
Who Should Use This Product?
This chromium ICP standard is perfect for:
Research Laboratories: For developing new analytical methods or validating existing protocols.
Environmental Testing Facilities: When monitoring chromium levels in soil, water, or air samples.
Educational Institutions: Students learning ICP techniques will benefit from this reliable standard.
Industrial Quality Control: Manufacturers verifying chromium content in alloys, coatings, or wastewater.
How to Use This Chromium Standard
For optimal results, follow these best practices:
1. Storage: Keep the unopened bottle at room temperature (15–25°C). Once opened, store tightly sealed and use within the recommended period.
2. Dilution: If dilution is required, use ultra-pure water and acid-washed glassware to prevent contamination.
3. Calibration: Prepare a calibration curve with at least 5 points for accurate quantification. Include a blank and check standards.
4. Instrument Setup: For ICP-OES, use the 267.716 nm wavelength for chromium. For ICP-MS, monitor m/z 52.
