Product Overview
This 10000 ppm Silver ICP single-element standard is formulated for high-precision analytical applications requiring traceable, matrix-matched calibration. The solution is prepared in a high-purity nitric acid matrix to ensure stability and minimize interferences during ICP-OES or ICP-MS analysis. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to guarantee accuracy within ±1% of the certified concentration, with full traceability to NIST reference materials. The standard is packaged in HDPE bottles with tamper-evident seals to prevent contamination and ensure long-term stability. Its low particulate content and ultra-pure formulation make it particularly suitable for environmental testing, pharmaceutical analysis, and materials characterization where silver quantification is critical. The solution remains stable for at least 12 months when stored properly, with minimal risk of precipitation or concentration changes. This standard eliminates the need for in-house preparation, saving time while maintaining analytical reliability.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Silver ICP standard when unopened?
The unopened standard maintains its certified concentration for 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
2. Can this standard be used for both ICP-OES and ICP-MS applications?
Yes, the 10000 ppm concentration is suitable for both techniques, though you may need to dilute it further for ICP-MS to avoid detector saturation with silver’s high sensitivity.
3. What material are the bottles made from and are they leak-proof?
The standards are packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles with screw caps and tamper-evident seals that prevent leakage during transport and storage.
4. Is this standard compatible with organic solvents for sample preparation?
This aqueous standard is designed for direct use or dilution with water/acid matrices. For organic solvent compatibility, you would need to verify miscibility or consider alternative standards prepared in organic solvents.
5. How should I dispose of unused or expired Silver ICP standard?
Follow local regulations for hazardous chemical disposal. The nitric acid matrix and silver content typically require treatment as hazardous waste through authorized chemical waste disposal services.
