Product Overview
This Silver 10 ppm ICP-ML single-element standard is a high-precision solution engineered for laboratories requiring exact trace metal quantification. Formulated using ultra-pure silver in a stabilized matrix, it ensures minimal interference and maximum accuracy in inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) applications. The solution is prepared with high-purity acids and deionized water, meeting stringent ICP-ML grade specifications for reliable, reproducible results. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to guarantee concentration consistency and long-term stability, even under varying storage conditions. The liquid form allows for easy dilution and seamless integration into existing lab workflows. Designed to minimize contamination risks, this standard is ideal for calibration curves, method validation, and routine analysis where precision is non-negotiable. The 10 ppm concentration provides an optimal balance between sensitivity and dynamic range for most analytical instruments.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Silver 10 ppm ICP-ML standard?
The standard remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature in its original container.
2. Can this standard be used with ICP-OES instruments?
While optimized for ICP-MS, it can be used with ICP-OES, though you may need to adjust dilution factors based on your instrument’s sensitivity requirements.
3. What is the matrix composition of this standard?
The solution is prepared in a dilute nitric acid matrix (typically 2-5% HNO₃) to maintain element stability and prevent precipitation.
4. How should I handle potential contamination during use?
Use dedicated, acid-washed pipettes and containers. Always work in a clean environment, preferably under a laminar flow hood, to prevent cross-contamination.
5. Is this standard traceable to NIST or other international standards?
Yes, the concentration is traceable to NIST SRMs through a documented chain of comparison using certified reference materials.
