Product Overview
This Palladium AAS standard solution delivers exceptional purity and consistency for demanding analytical applications. Formulated at 1000 µg/ml concentration with 0.1% w/v specification, it meets the stringent requirements of BAKER INSTRA-ANALYZED™ grade standards. The solution is prepared using ultra-high purity palladium metal dissolved in a stabilized matrix, ensuring long-term stability and minimal matrix interference during analysis. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control testing to guarantee accuracy within ±0.5% of the stated concentration, with full traceability to NIST reference materials. The solution’s homogeneous composition eliminates the need for additional dilution steps in most AAS workflows, saving valuable lab time while maintaining analytical precision. Packaged in high-density polyethylene bottles with tamper-evident seals, the solution resists contamination and light degradation. The 0.1% w/v formulation provides optimal sensitivity for palladium detection across various sample matrices, from environmental samples to industrial process control. This standard is particularly valued for its low background interference levels and exceptional batch-to-batch reproducibility, making it ideal for laboratories requiring consistent calibration curves over extended periods.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Palladium AAS standard solution?
The solution maintains its certified concentration for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature. Once opened, we recommend using within 12 months for optimal performance.
2. Can this standard be used with ICP-OES instruments?
While primarily formulated for AAS applications, this standard can be used for ICP-OES analysis. However, you may need to adjust the concentration range as ICP-OES typically requires lower concentration standards compared to AAS.
3. What is the matrix composition of this standard solution?
The solution contains palladium dissolved in a dilute nitric acid matrix with proprietary stabilizers to maintain homogeneity and prevent precipitation over time.
4. How should I handle potential contamination risks?
Use dedicated polypropylene pipette tips and containers to avoid cross-contamination. Always wear appropriate PPE including nitrile gloves when handling, as the solution contains trace amounts of nitric acid.
5. What documentation comes with this standard?
Each bottle includes a Certificate of Analysis detailing the exact concentration, batch number, expiration date, and quality control test results performed during manufacturing.
