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, with stability extending to 12 months after opening if properly sealed and refrigerated.
2. Can this standard be used for ICP-MS applications?
While optimized for ICP-OES and AAS, the solution’s high purity makes it suitable for ICP-MS applications, though users may need to perform additional dilution to match typical ICP-MS working ranges.
3. What material is used for the packaging bottles?
The solution is packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles with tamper-evident caps, designed to minimize leaching and contamination while maintaining chemical stability.
4. Is this solution compatible with automated liquid handling systems?
Yes, the viscosity and surface tension characteristics are optimized for compatibility with most automated pipetting and dilution systems commonly used in modern laboratories.
5. How does the Specpure® grade differ from standard analytical grades?
The Specpure® grade undergoes additional purification steps to remove trace impurities that could interfere with plasma spectrometry, resulting in lower detection limits and improved accuracy in quantitative analysis.
