Product Name – Gadolinium, 1000 ppm ICP-ML, single-element standard
Quantity/Pack Size – 100 ml
Form – Liquid (in 2% HNO₃)
Grade – ICP-ML (Traceable to NIST SRM)
Application – ICP-OES, ICP-MS calibration and trace analysis
Product Overview
This 1000 ppm Gadolinium ICP-ML single-element standard is meticulously prepared in a 2% nitric acid matrix to ensure long-term stability and compatibility with ICP instrumentation. The standard is traceable to NIST SRM (Standard Reference Material) for unmatched accuracy in quantitative analysis. Its ultra-pure formulation minimizes matrix interferences, making it ideal for calibration curves and routine trace-level determinations. The solution is packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles to prevent contamination and preserve integrity during storage. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control testing to verify concentration and purity, ensuring reliable results across multiple analytical runs. The low acidity level reduces instrument wear while maintaining complete element solubility. This standard is particularly valuable for laboratories requiring precise quantification of rare earth elements in complex matrices, offering a consistent reference point for method validation and quality assurance protocols.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Gadolinium standard when stored properly?
The standard maintains its certified concentration for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at 15-25°C in its original container.
2. Can this standard be used for both ICP-OES and ICP-MS applications?
Yes, the 1000 ppm concentration and nitric acid matrix make it suitable for both ICP-OES and ICP-MS instruments without requiring additional preparation.
3. What material is used for the bottle and cap to prevent contamination?
The solution is packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles with polypropylene caps, both chosen for their chemical resistance and low leachable content.
4. How should this standard be diluted for lower concentration requirements?
Use ultra-pure water (18.2 MΩ·cm) and trace-grade nitric acid for dilutions, following standard volumetric techniques to maintain accuracy.
5. Is this standard compatible with automated sample preparation systems?
The solution’s viscosity and chemical composition are optimized for compatibility with most automated liquid handling systems used in ICP laboratories.
