Product Description
When precision matters in trace metal analysis, the Ruthenium plasma standard solution (Specpure®, Ru 10,000µg/ml) stands out as a trusted reference material for laboratories across India. Designed for inductively coupled plasma (ICP) techniques, this high-purity solution ensures accurate calibration and validation in research, environmental testing, and industrial quality control.
Ruthenium, a rare platinum-group metal, plays a critical role in catalysis, electronics, and advanced materials research. However, its low natural abundance makes reliable quantification challenging without a certified standard. This Specpure® solution, sourced from Thermofisher, eliminates guesswork by providing a stable, matrix-matched reference with a concentration of 10,000µg/ml. Whether you’re analyzing geological samples, pharmaceutical intermediates, or alloy compositions, this standard delivers consistency batch after batch.
Why labs prefer Specpure® ruthenium standards
Unlike generic reagents, Specpure® standards undergo rigorous purification to remove interfering elements, ensuring minimal background noise in spectroscopic analysis. The solution is stabilized in a nitric acid matrix, compatible with most ICP instruments, and comes with a certificate of analysis for traceability. For researchers working on catalytic converters, corrosion-resistant coatings, or semiconductor materials, this standard simplifies method development and compliance with ISO 17025 or GLP protocols.
Choosing the right pack size for your workflow
Available in 50ml, 100ml, and 500ml volumes, this ruthenium standard adapts to both high-throughput labs and occasional users. The 50ml bottle is ideal for academic projects or small-scale research, while the 500ml option reduces frequent replenishment in industrial settings. Each bottle features a tamper-evident seal and amber glass packaging to prevent photodegradation, preserving stability throughout its shelf life.
Safety and handling considerations
While ruthenium compounds are generally stable, this solution contains dilute nitric acid. Always handle with nitrile gloves in a fume hood, and neutralize spills with sodium bicarbonate. Store at room temperature (15–25°C) away from direct sunlight. For disposal, follow local hazardous waste regulations—never pour down drains.

FAQs
What is the shelf life of this ruthenium standard solution?
When stored unopened at 15–25°C, the solution remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture. Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal accuracy.
Can this standard be used for both ICP-OES and ICP-MS?
Yes, the 10,000µg/ml concentration is suitable for dilution to working ranges for both techniques. For ICP-MS, further dilution to ppb levels may be required depending on your instrument’s sensitivity.
Is this solution compatible with organic solvents?
No, this standard is aqueous (nitric acid-based) and should not be mixed with organic solvents. For organic matrices, consider a different preparation method or consult our technical team.
How do I prepare a 1 ppm ruthenium standard from this solution?
Dilute 100µL of the 10,000µg/ml stock to 100mL with 2% nitric acid. Use Class A volumetric glassware and verify the dilution factor with your lab’s SOPs.
Does eqipped provide certificates of analysis for this product?
Yes, every bottle includes a lot-specific COA with traceability to NIST or equivalent reference materials. Digital copies are also available upon request.
