Product Overview
This Specpure® Manganese plasma standard solution delivers exceptional purity (10μg/ml Mn) in a stable aqueous matrix, engineered for high-precision atomic spectroscopy applications. The solution undergoes rigorous quality control to eliminate matrix interferences, ensuring reliable calibration curves and trace-level detection in ICP-OES, AAS, and plasma spectrometry workflows. Its ultra-low impurity profile—certified through multi-element analysis—minimizes background noise, while the nitric acid-based formulation guarantees long-term stability without precipitation or concentration shifts. The 100ml pack size balances cost-efficiency with reduced contamination risk during repeated sampling. Each batch includes a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) with traceable reference values, meeting ISO 17034 and NIST-comparable standards. The solution’s compatibility with autosamplers and standard labware eliminates the need for dilution adjustments, streamlining workflows for routine and research-grade analyses. Store at 15–25°C in the original amber glass bottle to preserve integrity; avoid exposure to direct light or metallic contaminants.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Specpure® Manganese standard when unopened?
The unopened solution remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored at 15–25°C in its original packaging. Always verify the expiration date on the label.
2. Can this standard be used for ICP-MS analysis?
While optimized for ICP-OES and AAS, the solution’s high purity makes it suitable for ICP-MS after validating matrix compatibility and potential polyatomic interferences in your specific instrument setup.
3. How does the nitric acid concentration affect sample preparation?
The solution contains ≤2% v/v nitric acid, which acts as a stabilizer and matches typical plasma spectroscopy sample matrices. No additional acidification is required for most applications.
4. Are there lower-concentration alternatives available for trace analysis?
For sub-ppb detection limits, consider diluting this standard with ultrapure water or sourcing pre-diluted Specpure® standards at 1μg/ml or 0.1μg/ml concentrations.
5. What materials are used for the bottle and cap to prevent contamination?
The solution is packaged in Type I borosilicate glass bottles with PTFE-lined polypropylene caps, ensuring minimal leachable metals and resistance to acidic solutions.
