Product Overview
This Europium 1000 ppm ICP-ML single-element standard is a high-purity liquid solution designed for inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) applications. Formulated in a stable nitric acid matrix, it ensures minimal interference and long-term stability, making it suitable for precise calibration and quality control in trace elemental analysis. The standard is manufactured under stringent conditions to meet ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025 guidelines, providing traceable certification for reliable results. Its low contamination risk and consistent concentration eliminate variability, ensuring reproducibility across experiments. The solution is packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles to prevent leaching or external contamination. Ideal for laboratories requiring high-accuracy measurements, this standard is compatible with most ICP-MS and ICP-OES instruments without requiring additional dilution for routine analysis. The nitric acid matrix minimizes precipitation and ensures homogeneous distribution of the europium ions, maintaining integrity during storage and use.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Europium 1000 ppm ICP-ML standard?
The standard remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature (15–25°C) in its original packaging. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
2. Is this standard compatible with both ICP-MS and ICP-OES instruments?
Yes, the Europium 1000 ppm ICP-ML standard is formulated for compatibility with both ICP-MS and ICP-OES systems. The nitric acid matrix ensures minimal spectral interferences and optimal ionization efficiency.
3. Can this solution be diluted for lower concentration requirements?
Yes, the standard can be diluted using high-purity deionized water or a dilute nitric acid solution (2% v/v) to achieve lower concentrations. Always use class-A volumetric glassware for accurate dilution.
4. What certification or traceability does this standard provide?
The standard is traceable to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) reference materials and is accompanied by a certificate of analysis (CoA) detailing the concentration, uncertainty, and expiration date.
5. How should I dispose of unused or expired Europium standard solution?
Dispose of the solution in accordance with local regulations for hazardous chemical waste. Neutralize with a suitable base (e.g., sodium hydroxide) before disposal if required, and avoid mixing with other laboratory waste.
