Product Overview
This Nickel 10 ppm ICP-ML single-element standard is meticulously formulated for high-precision trace metal analysis in inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The solution is prepared in a high-purity nitric acid matrix to ensure long-term stability and minimize contamination risks. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to guarantee concentration accuracy (±1% tolerance) and is traceable to NIST SRM standards for reliable calibration curves. The standard is free from interfering elements, making it ideal for low-level nickel detection in environmental, geological, or industrial samples. Its ready-to-use formulation eliminates the need for dilution in most applications, saving lab time while maintaining consistency. The amber glass bottle with tamper-evident seal preserves integrity during storage and transport. Compatible with most ICP instruments, this standard delivers reproducible results across multiple runs, reducing variability in quantitative analysis. The 10 ppm concentration provides optimal sensitivity for both routine testing and research-grade applications where nickel quantification is critical.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Nickel 10 ppm standard when unopened?
The unopened standard remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored at 15-25°C in its original packaging.
2. Can this standard be used for both ICP-MS and ICP-OES applications?
Yes, the 10 ppm concentration is suitable for both ICP-MS and ICP-OES, though you may need to adjust sample introduction parameters based on your instrument’s sensitivity requirements.
3. What material is used for the bottle and cap to prevent contamination?
The solution comes in an amber glass bottle with a polypropylene cap, both tested for trace metal leaching to ensure minimal contamination risk.
4. Is this standard compatible with organic solvents for sample preparation?
This aqueous standard is designed for direct use in aqueous systems. For organic matrices, you would need to prepare a separate organic-compatible standard or perform solvent exchange under controlled conditions.
5. How should I dispose of unused or expired standard solution?
Follow your institution’s chemical waste disposal protocols for heavy metal-containing solutions. The nitric acid matrix typically requires neutralization before disposal in approved chemical waste containers.
