Product Overview
This Silicon 1000 ppm ICP-ML single-element standard is meticulously formulated for high-precision trace elemental analysis in advanced spectroscopic techniques. The solution is prepared using ultra-pure silicon dissolved in a high-purity acid matrix, ensuring minimal interference and maximum stability over extended periods. Certified against NIST-traceable reference materials, this standard guarantees accuracy within ±1% of the stated concentration, making it ideal for calibration curves, quality control checks, and method validation in analytical laboratories. The ICP-ML grade designation indicates compatibility with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), where matrix effects and contamination risks are critical concerns. Packaged in HDPE bottles with tamper-evident seals, the standard maintains its integrity during storage and handling. The 100 ml pack size offers an optimal balance between cost efficiency and sufficient volume for repeated calibrations without frequent replenishment. Each batch undergoes rigorous multi-point quality testing, including homogeneity verification and long-term stability studies, to ensure consistent performance across diverse instrumental setups and environmental conditions.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Silicon 1000 ppm standard when stored properly?
The standard 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 12 months for optimal accuracy.
2. Is this standard compatible with both ICP-MS and ICP-OES instruments?
Yes, the formulation is optimized for compatibility with both ICP-MS and ICP-OES systems. The matrix composition minimizes spectral interferences while maintaining signal stability across different plasma conditions.
3. What alternative concentrations are available for Silicon standards in your catalog?
We offer Silicon standards at 10 ppm, 100 ppm, and 1000 ppm concentrations in the same ICP-ML grade. The 1000 ppm version provides the highest flexibility for preparing working standards through serial dilution.
4. Can this standard be used for preparing multi-element calibration solutions?
While designed as a single-element standard, it can be combined with other single-element standards to create custom multi-element solutions, provided the final matrix remains compatible with your instrument’s requirements.
5. What documentation is provided with each bottle for traceability purposes?
Each bottle includes a Certificate of Analysis detailing the exact concentration, uncertainty values, expiration date, batch number, and storage instructions, along with NIST traceability information for full quality assurance.
