Product Overview
This Gadolinium plasma standard solution (1000µg/ml) is manufactured under stringent quality controls to ensure exceptional purity and consistency, making it ideal for demanding analytical applications. The Specpure® grade guarantees minimal matrix interferences, enabling precise calibration and quantification in inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The solution is stabilized in a high-purity acid matrix to prevent precipitation and ensure long-term stability, even during prolonged storage. Each batch undergoes rigorous multi-element analysis to verify the absence of contaminants, ensuring reliable results in trace metal analysis. The 1000µg/ml concentration provides flexibility for serial dilutions while maintaining accuracy across a wide dynamic range. Packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles, the solution is resistant to leaching and external contamination, preserving its integrity from first use to final drop. Whether used for routine laboratory calibration or specialized research, this standard delivers unmatched performance for critical analytical workflows.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Gadolinium 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. Once opened, it should be used within 6 months for optimal accuracy.
2. Is this solution compatible with organic solvents for sample preparation?
This aqueous-based standard is designed for direct use in water-compatible analytical systems. For organic solvent applications, a separate organic-compatible standard or dilution in a suitable solvent may be required.
3. What alternatives exist for lower concentration requirements?
For applications requiring lower concentrations, the solution can be serially diluted using ultra-pure water or matrix-matched diluents. Pre-diluted standards at 100µg/ml or 10µg/ml are also available for convenience.
4. How should this solution be stored to maintain accuracy?
Store the unopened bottle upright at 15–25°C, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. After opening, tightly recap the bottle and store it in a dedicated standard storage area to prevent cross-contamination.
5. What certification or traceability does this standard provide?
Each batch includes a certificate of analysis (CoA) with traceability to NIST or equivalent primary standards, detailing the exact concentration, uncertainty values, and tested impurities for full compliance with ISO 17025 guidelines.
