Product Overview
The Scandium 1000 ppm ICP single-element standard is a high-purity, traceable solution designed for precise spectroscopic analysis. Formulated with ultra-pure reagents, this standard ensures minimal interference and maximum stability, delivering reliable results in ICP-OES and ICP-MS applications. The solution is prepared in a matrix-matched solvent system, reducing matrix effects and enhancing detection accuracy. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to guarantee consistency, with a certificate of analysis provided for traceability. The 1000 ppm concentration offers flexibility for dilution, making it suitable for both routine and high-sensitivity measurements. Packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles, the standard resists contamination and maintains integrity over extended storage periods. Whether used for calibration, validation, or research, this scandium standard meets the stringent requirements of modern analytical laboratories, providing confidence in data reproducibility and method accuracy.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Scandium ICP standard?
When stored unopened at room temperature in its original packaging, this standard remains stable for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Is this standard compatible with both ICP-OES and ICP-MS instruments?
Yes, the 1000 ppm concentration is optimized for compatibility with both ICP-OES and ICP-MS systems, though dilution may be required for ICP-MS to avoid detector saturation.
3. Are there lower concentration alternatives available for this scandium standard?
Lower concentration standards (e.g., 10 ppm or 100 ppm) can be prepared by serial dilution using high-purity acids or deionized water, following standard lab protocols.
4. What precautions should be taken during storage to maintain stability?
Store the bottle tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and incompatible chemicals. Avoid repeated opening to minimize contamination risks.
5. Does this standard require any special handling during disposal?
Follow local regulations for chemical waste disposal. Neutralization or dilution may be necessary before disposal, depending on the residual concentration and regional guidelines.
