Product Overview
The Mercury, 10 ppm ICP-ML single-element standard is a high-precision solution designed for laboratories requiring ultra-low detection limits. Formulated with ultra-pure reagents, this standard ensures minimal matrix interference, making it ideal for inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) applications. The 10 ppm concentration provides optimal sensitivity for trace-level mercury analysis, while the matrix-free composition guarantees consistent performance across multiple analytical runs. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure accuracy, stability, and compliance with international standards. The solution is packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles to prevent contamination and maintain long-term stability. Whether used for calibration, method validation, or routine testing, this standard delivers reliable, reproducible results, minimizing variability in analytical workflows. The low acidity formulation further reduces instrument wear, extending the lifespan of lab equipment.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Mercury ICP standard?
When stored unopened at room temperature, this standard remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture. Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal performance.
2. Is this standard compatible with both ICP-MS and ICP-OES?
Yes, the 10 ppm concentration is optimized for both ICP-MS and ICP-OES, ensuring accurate detection across different instrumental techniques without requiring dilution.
3. What is the matrix composition of this standard?
This is a matrix-free standard, prepared in a dilute nitric acid solution (2% v/v) to minimize spectral interferences and background noise during analysis.
4. Can this standard be used for environmental sample analysis?
The ultra-low detection capability and high purity make it suitable for environmental matrices, including water, soil, and biological samples, where mercury traces are critical.
5. How should this standard be stored to maintain accuracy?
Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and incompatible chemicals. Tightly seal the bottle after each use to prevent evaporation or contamination.
