Product Overview
This Manganese plasma standard solution delivers a certified concentration of 10,000µg/ml in ultra-pure Specpure® grade, ensuring exceptional accuracy for demanding analytical applications. The solution is meticulously prepared using high-purity manganese compounds dissolved in a stabilized matrix, minimizing matrix interferences and background noise during plasma spectrometry. Its low impurity profile makes it particularly suitable for trace metal analysis where contamination risks must be eliminated. The solution is compatible with most ICP-OES and AAS instruments without requiring additional dilution for standard calibration curves. Packaged in high-density polyethylene bottles to prevent leaching and contamination, it maintains stability for extended periods when stored properly. The Specpure® certification guarantees lot-to-lot consistency, with each batch accompanied by a comprehensive certificate of analysis detailing the exact manganese concentration and impurity levels. This standard solution eliminates the need for in-house preparation of manganese standards, saving valuable lab time while providing NIST-traceable accuracy for quantitative analysis.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Mn plasma standard solution when unopened?
The unopened solution maintains its certified concentration for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored at 15-25°C in its original packaging.
2. Can this solution be used directly for ICP-MS analysis?
While primarily designed for ICP-OES and AAS, it can be used for ICP-MS after appropriate dilution to match the instrument’s linear range and matrix tolerance.
3. What is the typical acid matrix used in this standard solution?
The solution uses a nitric acid matrix at approximately 2% concentration to ensure complete manganese solubility and long-term stability.
4. How should I handle potential contamination when using this standard?
Use dedicated polypropylene pipette tips and containers to avoid cross-contamination, and always work in a clean laminar flow hood when preparing dilutions.
5. What documentation is provided with each batch of this solution?
Each bottle comes with a certificate of analysis showing the exact manganese concentration, impurity profile, expiration date, and storage recommendations.
