Product Overview
This Samarium 1000 ppm ICP-ML single-element standard delivers exceptional accuracy for trace metal analysis, formulated in a high-purity nitric acid matrix to ensure long-term stability and minimal interference. The standard is calibrated against NIST-traceable reference materials, guaranteeing reliable quantification across ICP-OES, ICP-MS, and AAS platforms. Its ultra-low impurity profile eliminates matrix effects, while the 100 ml pack size provides sufficient volume for routine calibration curves and quality control checks. The solution is housed in a leak-proof HDPE bottle with tamper-evident sealing, preserving integrity during storage and transport. Compatible with most autosamplers, this standard maintains consistency across multiple analytical runs, reducing recalibration frequency. Its extended shelf life (24 months unopened) and resistance to microbial contamination make it a cost-effective choice for laboratories prioritizing reproducibility. The nitric acid base ensures complete dissolution of the samarium component, preventing precipitation or adsorption losses that could compromise results.
FAQs
1. What is the matrix composition of this Samarium standard?
This standard uses a 2% nitric acid matrix, which is optimized for compatibility with ICP instrumentation and minimizes spectral interferences during analysis.
2. Can this standard be diluted for lower concentration requirements?
Yes, the solution can be accurately diluted using high-purity deionized water or appropriate acid mixtures to achieve target concentrations while maintaining linearity.
3. What certification or traceability does this standard provide?
The concentration is certified against NIST-traceable reference materials, with a comprehensive certificate of analysis included with each batch.
4. How should this standard be stored to maintain stability?
Store upright at 15-25°C in its original container, away from direct sunlight and strong oxidizing agents. Avoid freezing as it may alter the solution homogeneity.
5. Is this standard compatible with organic solvent-based sample preparation?
While primarily designed for aqueous systems, it can be incorporated into organic matrices with proper solvent exchange protocols, though validation is recommended for specific applications.
