Product Overview
This 10ppm Iron ICP-ML single-element standard is engineered for high-precision trace metal analysis, offering exceptional accuracy in inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) applications. The solution is prepared using ultra-pure reagents and deionized water (18.2 MΩ·cm) to minimize matrix interferences, ensuring reliable quantification even at low concentrations. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control, including multi-point calibration verification against NIST-traceable reference materials, to guarantee ±1% concentration tolerance. The standard is stabilized with high-purity nitric acid (2% v/v) to prevent precipitation and maintain homogeneity over extended storage periods. Packaged in HDPE bottles with tamper-evident seals, it resists leaching and contamination while the amber tint protects light-sensitive components. The lot-specific certificate of analysis provides comprehensive data on purity, stability testing, and expiration dating under recommended storage conditions (2-8°C). Compatible with most ICP-MS and ICP-OES instruments, this standard eliminates the need for complex sample preparation, reducing procedural errors in routine lab workflows. Its single-element formulation allows for flexible custom dilution to create multi-element calibration curves or spike recovery samples as needed.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Iron ICP standard when stored properly?
The standard remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at 2-8°C. Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal accuracy.
2. Can this standard be used with ICP-OES instruments?
Yes, while optimized for ICP-MS, the 10ppm concentration is suitable for ICP-OES applications. You may need to dilute it further depending on your instrument’s linear range requirements.
3. What matrix components are present in this standard?
The solution contains 2% v/v high-purity nitric acid in 18.2 MΩ·cm deionized water. No other additives or stabilizing agents are included to maintain matrix simplicity.
4. How should I prepare working standards from this 10ppm solution?
Use Class A volumetric glassware and the same matrix (2% HNO₃) for serial dilutions. For example, a 1:10 dilution with 2% HNO₃ yields a 1ppm working standard.
5. Is this standard compatible with automated sample preparation systems?
The solution is free from particulate matter and surface-active agents, making it compatible with most robotic liquid handlers and autosamplers used in high-throughput labs.
