Each 6.35mm diameter slug is precision-machined to 12.7mm length, ensuring uniform dimensions for reproducible results in your experiments. With a 99.995% metals basis purity, it’s the ideal choice for applications where trace impurities could compromise data integrity.
Whether you’re calibrating instruments, developing new alloys, or conducting electrochemical studies, these nickel slugs provide a reliable reference material. The Puratronic™ grade guarantees minimal metallic and non-metallic contaminants, making it suitable for even the most sensitive analytical techniques.
At eqipped, we understand how critical material purity is to your work. That’s why we source these nickel slugs from trusted manufacturers like Thermo Fisher Scientific, ensuring you receive the same high-quality standards used in professional labs worldwide.
Upgrade your lab’s precision with Puratronic™ nickel slugs—order yours today and experience the difference purity makes.
These slugs are particularly valuable in:
- Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) standards
- Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis
- Materials science research requiring ultra-pure nickel
- Electrochemical cell construction
The 25-slug pack size offers an economical solution for both small-scale research and larger projects, giving you the flexibility to scale your experiments without frequent reordering.
Why High-Purity Nickel Matters
In analytical chemistry, even parts-per-million impurities can skew results. This Puratronic™ nickel slug’s 99.995% purity eliminates variables that could affect your measurements. For researchers working with sensitive detection methods, this level of purity isn’t just preferable—it’s essential.
The slug form factor provides several advantages over powder or wire alternatives. Its solid structure prevents oxidation during handling, while the standardized dimensions ensure consistent sample preparation. This makes it particularly useful for creating calibration curves or when you need repeatable sample weights.
Handling and Storage Recommendations
To maintain the integrity of your nickel slugs:
- Store in a dry, inert atmosphere when not in use
- Use clean, non-magnetic tools for handling
- Avoid prolonged exposure to humid environments
- Keep away from strong acids or oxidizing agents
While nickel is generally stable, proper storage extends the shelf life and preserves the high-purity characteristics you’ve invested in.
FAQs
What makes Puratronic™ nickel different from standard nickel?
Puratronic™ nickel undergoes additional refining processes to achieve 99.995% purity, removing trace impurities that could interfere with sensitive analytical techniques. This makes it ideal for calibration standards and research requiring ultra-pure materials.
Can these nickel slugs be used for electrochemical applications?
Absolutely. The high purity and consistent dimensions make these slugs excellent for electrochemical cell construction, where impurity levels could affect reaction kinetics or voltage measurements.
How should I clean these nickel slugs before use?
For most applications, a gentle rinse with high-purity alcohol followed by drying in an inert atmosphere is sufficient. For ultra-sensitive work, consider acid etching with high-purity reagents, though this may slightly alter the surface.
Is there a minimum order quantity for these nickel slugs?
No, you can order as few as one pack of 25 slugs. This makes it practical for both small research projects and larger institutional needs.
What’s the typical lead time for delivery?
Most orders ship within 2-3 business days. eqipped prioritizes fast delivery to ensure your research stays on schedule.
