Product Overview
This Rubidium 1000 ppm ICP-ML single-element standard is a high-precision solution designed for laboratories requiring accurate trace metal analysis. Formulated with ultra-pure reagents, it ensures minimal interference and maximum stability for reliable ICP-MS and ICP-OES measurements. The standard is NIST-traceable, providing confidence in calibration and quantitative analysis. Its aqueous matrix is optimized for compatibility with most ICP instruments, reducing matrix effects and improving detection limits. The solution is packaged in a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottle to prevent contamination and ensure long-term stability. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to guarantee consistency, making it ideal for routine lab workflows, method validation, and research applications where precision is critical. The 1000 ppm concentration offers flexibility for serial dilutions, accommodating a wide range of analytical needs without compromising accuracy.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Rubidium ICP standard?
The shelf life is 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature (15–25°C). Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal performance.
2. Is this standard compatible with ICP-OES as well as ICP-MS?
Yes, this Rubidium 1000 ppm standard is suitable for both ICP-MS and ICP-OES applications, provided the instrument is calibrated for the matrix and concentration range.
3. Are there lower concentration alternatives available for this standard?
Lower concentrations can be prepared by serial dilution using high-purity acids or deionized water, depending on the required analytical sensitivity.
4. How should this standard be stored to maintain stability?
Store the unopened bottle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. After opening, tightly recap the bottle to minimize exposure to air.
5. Does this standard require any special handling precautions?
While non-hazardous, standard lab safety practices should be followed, including wearing gloves and eye protection to avoid skin or eye contact with the solution.
