Grade – AAS Standard
Application – Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS)
Product Overview
This Iron AAS standard solution (1000 µg/ml) is a high-purity reagent specifically formulated for atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) applications, ensuring precise and reproducible results in trace metal analysis. The 0.10% w/v concentration provides an optimal balance for calibration curves and sample preparation, eliminating the need for dilution in most standard protocols. As a BAKER INSTRA-ANALYZED™ reagent, it undergoes rigorous quality control to guarantee consistency, with each batch accompanied by a certificate of analysis for full traceability. The solution is stabilized to prevent precipitation or degradation over time, maintaining its accuracy throughout the shelf life. Its low matrix interference makes it suitable for complex sample types, while the liquid form allows for easy dispensing and integration into automated systems. The reagent is packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles to minimize contamination risks, with tamper-evident seals to ensure integrity upon delivery. This standard is particularly valued in laboratories requiring NIST-traceable references for compliance with ISO and other regulatory standards.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Iron AAS standard solution?
The solution remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature, as indicated on the certificate of analysis.
2. Can this standard be used with graphite furnace AAS systems?
Yes, this 1000 µg/ml concentration is compatible with both flame and graphite furnace AAS instruments, though dilution may be required for ultra-trace analysis in graphite furnace applications.
3. What materials are used for the bottle and cap to prevent contamination?
The solution is packaged in HDPE bottles with polypropylene caps, both of which are tested for metal leaching to ensure minimal background interference.
4. Is this standard traceable to NIST reference materials?
Each batch is manufactured using raw materials traceable to NIST SRM 3126a (Iron Standard Solution), with the certificate of analysis providing full documentation.
5. How should I handle the solution to maintain its accuracy?
Use polypropylene or PTFE pipette tips for dispensing, avoid repeated opening of the bottle, and store away from direct sunlight and sources of heat to preserve stability.
