Product Overview
This 1000 ppm single-element copper standard is meticulously formulated for inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectroscopy applications, ensuring reliable calibration and traceability in elemental analysis. The solution is prepared using ultra-pure copper in a stabilized matrix, minimizing contamination risks while maintaining long-term stability. Its ICP-ML grade guarantees compatibility with both ICP-OES and ICP-MS instruments, delivering consistent performance across analytical workflows. The liquid form allows for easy dilution and integration into laboratory protocols, while the precise concentration eliminates variability in measurements. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to meet international standards, providing researchers with confidence in their analytical results. The solution is packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles to prevent leaching and preserve integrity during storage. Whether used for routine calibration or method development, this copper standard offers the accuracy and reproducibility required for demanding laboratory environments.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this 1000 ppm copper standard?
The standard remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Always check the expiration date on the label before use.
2. Can this copper standard be used for both ICP-OES and ICP-MS applications?
Yes, this 1000 ppm copper standard is specifically designed for compatibility with both ICP-OES and ICP-MS instruments, ensuring accurate calibration across different analytical techniques.
3. What diluent is recommended for preparing lower concentration standards?
Use high-purity deionized water (18.2 MΩ·cm) or a matrix-matched diluent, such as 2% nitric acid, to prepare lower concentration standards while maintaining accuracy and minimizing contamination.
4. Is this standard traceable to NIST or other international reference materials?
The copper standard is manufactured under ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025 guidelines, with traceability to NIST SRMs or equivalent international reference materials for assured reliability in analytical measurements.
5. How should I dispose of unused or expired copper standard solution?
Follow local laboratory waste disposal regulations for heavy metal-containing solutions. Typically, it should be collected in designated hazardous waste containers and disposed of through authorized chemical waste management services.
