Product Overview
This Neodymium AAS standard solution from Specpure® delivers a certified 1000µg/ml concentration in a high-purity aqueous matrix, ensuring reliable calibration and quantification in atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The Specpure® grade guarantees minimal interference from trace contaminants, with each batch rigorously tested for accuracy and stability. The solution is prepared using ultra-pure reagents and deionized water, meeting ISO 17034 and ISO/IEC 17025 standards for reference materials. Its long-term stability (minimum 24 months when stored properly) eliminates frequent recalibration needs, while the tamper-evident packaging ensures integrity during transport and storage. The inclusion of a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (CoA) provides full traceability, including lot-specific data on purity, concentration, and uncertainty values. Compatible with most AAS and ICP instruments, this standard is ideal for laboratories requiring consistent, high-precision neodymium measurements in environmental, geological, or material science applications. The 100ml and 500ml pack sizes offer flexibility for both routine testing and high-throughput workflows.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Neodymium AAS standard solution?
The solution remains stable for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at 15–25°C in its original container. Always check the expiration date on the label.
2. Can this standard be used for ICP-MS analysis?
While optimized for AAS and ICP-OES, the high purity of Specpure® standards makes them suitable for ICP-MS after appropriate dilution to match instrument sensitivity and matrix requirements.
3. Is the concentration certified with uncertainty values?
Yes, the Certificate of Analysis (CoA) includes the certified concentration (1000µg/ml) with expanded uncertainty, traceable to NIST or equivalent primary standards.
4. What materials are used for the packaging?
The solution is supplied in HDPE bottles with PP caps, both resistant to chemical leaching and designed to prevent contamination during storage.
5. Are there alternatives for lower concentration requirements?
For diluted standards, this solution can be serially diluted using high-purity acids or deionized water, following standard lab protocols for AAS/ICP calibration curves.
