Product Overview
This Scandium AAS standard solution from Specpure® delivers exceptional purity and accuracy for demanding laboratory applications. Formulated at a precise 1000µg/ml concentration, it serves as a reliable reference material for atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), ensuring consistent calibration and trace metal analysis. The Specpure® grade guarantees minimal interference from contaminants, making it suitable for high-sensitivity measurements where precision is critical. The solution is stabilized to maintain long-term integrity, reducing the risk of degradation over time. Its homogeneous composition ensures uniform distribution of scandium ions, eliminating variability in analytical results. Designed for compatibility with standard AAS instrumentation, this solution minimizes matrix effects, allowing for accurate quantification even in complex sample matrices. The 500ml pack size provides an optimal balance between cost efficiency and practical usage volume, reducing the need for frequent replenishment while maintaining freshness. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to meet international standards, with certification documentation available for traceability. The solution’s stability under typical laboratory storage conditions (15–25°C) ensures reliable performance throughout its shelf life.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Scandium AAS standard solution?
The solution remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at 15–25°C in its original container. Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal accuracy.
2. Is this solution compatible with ICP-OES or only AAS?
While optimized for AAS, the high purity of this Specpure® solution also makes it suitable for ICP-OES applications, though dilution may be required depending on the instrument’s sensitivity range.
3. Are there lower concentration alternatives available for this scandium standard?
Lower concentrations (e.g., 100µg/ml or 10µg/ml) can be prepared by serial dilution using high-purity acids or deionized water, following standard laboratory protocols for trace metal standards.
4. What is the matrix composition of this standard solution?
The solution is prepared in a nitric acid matrix (typically 2–5% v/v), which enhances stability and solubility while minimizing precipitation or adsorption losses during storage.
5. Can this solution be used for environmental sample analysis?
Yes, the Specpure® grade’s low impurity profile makes it ideal for environmental analysis, including soil, water, or biological samples, where background contamination must be minimized.
