Product Overview
This Specpure® copper plasma standard solution delivers exceptional purity and accuracy for demanding analytical applications. Formulated at a precise 10,000µg/ml concentration, it provides reliable calibration for inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) systems. The solution is prepared using ultra-high purity copper metal dissolved in high-quality nitric acid, ensuring minimal matrix interference and maximum stability. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control testing to guarantee consistency and traceability to NIST reference materials. The Specpure® grade designation indicates superior purity levels, making this standard ideal for laboratories requiring the highest accuracy in trace metal analysis. The solution comes in amber glass bottles to protect against light degradation, with tamper-evident seals to maintain integrity during storage and transport. Its long shelf life when stored properly makes it a cost-effective choice for laboratories performing routine or high-volume copper analysis.
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 in its original container.
