Product Overview
This Specpure® copper plasma standard solution delivers ultra-high purity with a precise 1000µg/ml concentration, engineered for demanding trace metal analysis applications. The solution is prepared using high-purity copper in a stabilized nitric acid matrix, ensuring long-term stability and minimal matrix interference. Its ultra-low impurity profile makes it ideal for calibration curves, quality control checks, and method validation in spectroscopic techniques like ICP-OES, ICP-MS, and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The solution undergoes rigorous multi-stage purification to eliminate contaminant metals, with each batch verified through advanced analytical techniques. Packaged in high-density polyethylene bottles to prevent leaching, the solution maintains its integrity during storage and handling. The 1000µg/ml concentration provides optimal working range flexibility, allowing for easy dilution to prepare lower concentration standards as needed. This standard is particularly valuable for laboratories requiring NIST-traceable reference materials, offering consistent performance across multiple analytical runs. The solution’s stability is enhanced through proprietary stabilization techniques, reducing the risk of precipitation or concentration shifts over time. Whether used for environmental testing, pharmaceutical analysis, or materials research, this copper standard ensures reliable, reproducible results while minimizing the need for frequent recalibration.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this copper plasma standard solution?
The solution remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature. Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal accuracy.
2. Is this solution compatible with organic solvents?
This aqueous solution is designed for water-based systems. For organic solvent applications, consider a copper standard prepared in an appropriate organic matrix.
3. What alternatives exist for lower concentration requirements?
For concentrations below 1000µg/ml, you can prepare dilutions using high-purity deionized water or purchase pre-diluted standards from the same Specpure® series.
4. How should this solution be stored to maintain accuracy?
Store tightly sealed in its original container at 15-25°C, away from direct sunlight and sources of contamination. Avoid freezing as it may alter the solution’s properties.
5. What certification or traceability does this standard provide?
The solution comes with a certificate of analysis detailing the copper concentration, impurity profile, and traceability to NIST reference materials where applicable.
