Product Name – Lutetium, plasma standard solution, Specpure®, Lu 10,000µg/ml Quantity/Pack Size – 100ml, 500ml Form – Liquid (aqueous solution) Grade – Specpure® (ultra-high purity) Application – ICP-OES, ICP-MS, AAS, trace metal calibration
Product Overview
This Specpure® lutetium plasma standard solution delivers exceptional purity (10,000µg/ml concentration) for demanding analytical applications. Formulated with ultra-low impurity levels, it ensures reliable calibration and quantification in inductively coupled plasma (ICP-OES, ICP-MS) and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The aqueous matrix is optimized for compatibility with plasma instrumentation, minimizing matrix effects while maintaining long-term stability. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to guarantee consistent performance, making it ideal for laboratories requiring trace-level accuracy. The solution is packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles to prevent contamination, with tamper-evident seals for integrity. Whether used for environmental testing, material analysis, or research applications, this standard provides a robust reference for lutetium detection across diverse sample types.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this lutetium plasma standard solution?
The solution remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature. Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal accuracy.
2. Can this standard be used for both ICP-OES and ICP-MS analysis?
Yes, the Specpure® grade is compatible with both ICP-OES and ICP-MS instruments due to its ultra-low impurity profile and optimized matrix composition.
3. What alternatives are available if I need a lower concentration?
Dilution is recommended using high-purity acids or deionized water. For pre-diluted options, consider our 1,000µg/ml or 100µg/ml lutetium standards.
4. How should I store the solution after opening?
Store opened bottles tightly sealed at 15–25°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to prevent degradation.
5. Is this solution traceable to NIST or other reference materials?
The concentration is certified against primary standards and includes a certificate of analysis with traceability data for quality assurance.
