Why This Mercury Standard Stands Out
Not all mercury standards are created equal. This 1000 ppm ICP-ML solution is designed for labs that refuse to compromise on accuracy. The single-element formulation eliminates cross-contamination risks, while the ICP-ML grade ensures compatibility with even the most sensitive instruments. Researchers and technicians appreciate its long shelf life and minimal matrix effects, which simplify sample preparation.
Environmental labs rely on this standard for water and soil testing, where mercury detection limits are critical. Clinical laboratories use it for toxicology screens, and academic institutions incorporate it into student training programs. No matter your application, this mercury standard adapts to your workflow.
Applications in Real-World Labs
From routine quality control to groundbreaking research, this mercury standard finds its place in diverse settings:
In environmental testing, it helps monitor mercury levels in drinking water, wastewater, and industrial effluents. Public health agencies use it to enforce safety regulations, while food testing labs screen for mercury contamination in seafood and agricultural products.
Researchers studying heavy metal toxicity depend on this standard to quantify mercury exposure in biological samples. Forensic labs employ it in toxicology investigations, and pharmaceutical companies use it to validate drug purity. Even educational institutions benefit from its consistency when teaching analytical chemistry techniques.
Handling and Storage Guidelines
As with all mercury-containing solutions, proper handling is essential. Store this standard in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling, including nitrile gloves and safety goggles. Work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to minimize exposure.
The 100 ml bottle is designed for easy dispensing, but we recommend using a dedicated pipette to avoid contamination. After each use, tightly seal the cap to prevent evaporation or oxidation. When stored correctly, this mercury standard maintains its stability for the duration of its shelf life.
Compatibility with Your Lab Equipment
This mercury standard integrates seamlessly with most ICP instruments. Its matrix is optimized for minimal interference, ensuring clean spectra and accurate readings. Whether you’re using a PerkinElmer, Agilent, or Thermo Scientific ICP system, this standard delivers consistent performance.
For labs running multiple elements, this single-element standard allows for custom calibration curves without the complexity of multi-element solutions. It’s also ideal for method development, where precise mercury concentrations are required to establish detection limits and linear ranges.
Safety First: Important Considerations
Risk Note: Mercury is a highly toxic substance. This product contains mercury at 1000 ppm and must be handled with extreme care. Avoid skin contact, inhalation, and ingestion. In case of spillage, follow your institution’s mercury spill protocol immediately. Dispose of waste according to local hazardous waste regulations.
When stored properly at room temperature, this mercury standard remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture. Always check the expiration date on the label before use.
Can I use this standard for both ICP-OES and ICP-MS?
Yes, this 1000 ppm mercury standard is suitable for both ICP-OES and ICP-MS applications. Its high purity ensures accurate results across different instrumental techniques.
Is this mercury standard traceable to NIST?
This product is manufactured under ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025 standards, ensuring traceability to NIST reference materials where applicable.
What is the minimum order quantity for this product?
At eqipped, you can order as little as one 100 ml bottle. Bulk discounts may apply for larger quantities—contact our sales team for details.
How should I prepare working standards from this solution?
For best results, use serial dilution with high-purity acids (e.g., 2% HNO3) to prepare working standards. Always use class A volumetric glassware for accurate dilutions.
