Product Overview
This Lanthanum plasma standard solution (Specpure®, 10,000µg/ml) is a high-purity reference material designed for precise analytical applications in spectroscopy and trace metal analysis. Formulated with Specpure® grade purity, it ensures minimal matrix interference and exceptional accuracy in calibration curves, making it ideal for demanding laboratory environments. The solution is stabilized in a nitric acid matrix to maintain long-term stability and prevent precipitation or degradation. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to guarantee consistent concentration and low contamination levels, meeting the strict requirements of modern analytical techniques. The 10,000µg/ml concentration provides optimal sensitivity for dilution series while maintaining traceability to international standards. Packaged in high-density polyethylene bottles to prevent leaching or external contamination, this solution is compatible with most ICP-OES and AAS instruments without requiring additional matrix matching. The Specpure® certification ensures that impurity levels are controlled to parts-per-billion levels, making it suitable for even the most sensitive analytical protocols where background interference must be minimized.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Lanthanum 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, it should be used within 6 months for optimal accuracy.
2. Can this standard be used for ICP-MS applications?
While primarily designed for ICP-OES and AAS, this solution can be used for ICP-MS with appropriate dilution to avoid detector saturation, though matrix effects should be evaluated for your specific application.
3. What is the matrix composition of this standard solution?
The solution is prepared in a dilute nitric acid matrix (typically 2-5% v/v) to ensure complete dissolution and long-term stability of the Lanthanum content.
4. How should I handle potential contamination when using this standard?
Always use dedicated, acid-washed volumetric pipettes and containers. Avoid contact with glassware that may leach silicates or metals, and store the solution away from strong oxidizing agents.
5. What documentation is provided with this standard solution?
Each batch includes a Certificate of Analysis detailing the exact concentration, traceability to NIST standards, impurity profile, and recommended storage conditions for quality assurance.
