Product Overview
This Indium plasma standard solution from Specpure® delivers unmatched precision for trace elemental analysis in advanced spectroscopic techniques. Formulated at a concentration of 1000µg/ml, it is prepared using ultra-high-purity indium metal dissolved in a stabilized nitric acid matrix, ensuring minimal interference and maximum accuracy. The solution undergoes rigorous quality control to guarantee consistency, with lot-specific certificates of analysis provided for traceability. Its low background impurity profile makes it ideal for calibration curves, method validation, and routine quantitative analysis in research and industrial laboratories. The aqueous formulation eliminates the need for additional dissolution steps, saving time while maintaining stability over extended storage periods. Compatible with most plasma-based instrumentation, this standard solution adheres to international metrological standards, offering reliability for critical measurements where precision is non-negotiable. The Specpure® grade ensures compliance with stringent analytical requirements, making it a trusted choice for laboratories demanding reproducible results.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Indium plasma standard solution?
The solution remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature in its original packaging. Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal accuracy.
2. Can this standard be used for both ICP-OES and ICP-MS applications?
Yes, the 1000µg/ml concentration is suitable for dilution to working ranges compatible with both ICP-OES and ICP-MS, though matrix effects should be considered for ultra-trace ICP-MS analysis.
3. What is the acid matrix used in this solution?
The solution is stabilized in a dilute nitric acid matrix (typically 2-5% v/v), which prevents precipitation and ensures homogeneity during analysis.
4. Are there lower concentration alternatives available for this Indium standard?
While this product is offered at 1000µg/ml, serial dilution using high-purity acids can prepare lower concentrations. Pre-diluted standards may be available upon request for specific applications.
5. How should I handle spills or disposal of this solution?
Neutralize small spills with sodium bicarbonate or a compatible base, then absorb with inert material. Dispose of according to local regulations for hazardous chemical waste, as it contains nitric acid and indium compounds.
