Product Overview
This Specpure® scandium plasma standard solution delivers exceptional purity and precision for demanding analytical applications. Formulated at a 1000µg/mL concentration, it serves as a reliable calibration standard for inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The solution is prepared using ultra-high purity scandium in a stabilized matrix to ensure long-term stability and minimal matrix interferences. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to guarantee accurate traceability and consistent performance across multiple analytical runs. The aqueous-based formulation eliminates solubility issues while maintaining compatibility with most plasma spectrometry systems. Ideal for laboratories requiring NIST-traceable reference materials, this standard solution helps achieve reproducible results in trace metal analysis. The Specpure® grade designation indicates the highest available purity level, making it suitable for research-grade applications where contaminant levels must be minimized. The solution comes in amber glass bottles with tamper-evident seals to prevent degradation from light exposure and contamination during storage.
FAQs
1
What is the shelf life of this scandium plasma standard solution?
The solution remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature in its original packaging. 2
Can this standard be used for ICP-MS applications?
While primarily designed for ICP-OES and AAS, it can be used for ICP-MS after appropriate dilution to match the instrument’s sensitivity range. 3
What matrix is used in this scandium standard solution? The solution uses a nitric acid matrix that’s compatible with most plasma spectrometry systems and minimizes potential interferences. 4
Is this scandium standard traceable to NIST reference materials?
Yes, the solution is manufactured with traceability to NIST reference materials for assured accuracy in analytical applications. 5
What precautions should be taken when handling this solution?
Always wear appropriate PPE including gloves and safety goggles, and handle in a well-ventilated area or fume hood due to the acidic nature of the solution.
