Product Overview
The Lanthanum 10000 ppm ICP single-element standard is a high-purity reference solution designed for precise calibration in inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectroscopy. Formulated in a 2% nitric acid matrix, this standard ensures stability and compatibility with most ICP instruments. The 10000 ppm (1%) concentration provides optimal sensitivity for trace analysis while minimizing matrix interferences. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to guarantee accuracy, with certification traceable to NIST standards. The solution is packaged in a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottle to prevent contamination and maintain long-term stability. Its low particulate content and minimal background impurities make it suitable for demanding applications requiring ultra-low detection limits. The standard is compatible with both ICP-OES and ICP-MS systems, offering consistent performance across different instrumental setups. For laboratories requiring reliable elemental quantification, this Lanthanum standard delivers reproducible results with minimal drift over extended calibration periods.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Lanthanum ICP standard?
When stored unopened at room temperature, this standard maintains its certified concentration for 24 months from the date of manufacture. Opened bottles should be used within 6 months for optimal accuracy.
2. Can this standard be used for both ICP-OES and ICP-MS?
Yes, the 10000 ppm concentration is suitable for both techniques, though you may need to dilute it further for ICP-MS applications depending on your instrument’s linear range.
3. What material is the bottle made of?
The standard comes in a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottle that resists chemical corrosion and prevents leaching of contaminants into the solution.
4. Is this standard compatible with organic solvents?
No, this aqueous standard in nitric acid matrix is not designed for organic solvent applications. For organic matrices, you would need a different preparation.
5. How should I prepare working standards from this 10000 ppm solution?
Use serial dilution with 2% nitric acid to prepare lower concentration standards. Always use Class A volumetric glassware and ensure proper mixing at each dilution step.
