Product Overview
This Sodium 10 ppm ICP-ML single-element standard is meticulously formulated to deliver unmatched precision in trace element analysis. Engineered for inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-ML), it ensures consistent, reliable results with minimal matrix interference. The liquid form guarantees homogeneous distribution, eliminating variability in measurements. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality checks to maintain a certified concentration of 10 ppm, traceable to NIST standards. The solution is stabilized to prevent degradation over time, ensuring long-term accuracy in calibration curves and sample validation. Its compatibility with most ICP-MS instruments makes it a versatile choice for laboratories requiring stringent quality control. The low background contamination and high purity of the solvent system further enhance sensitivity, allowing detection of sodium at ultra-low concentrations. Whether used for routine calibration or complex research applications, this standard minimizes systematic errors, reducing the need for frequent recalibration. The packaging is designed to prevent contamination, with airtight seals and inert materials that preserve integrity during storage and handling.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Sodium 10 ppm ICP-ML standard?
The standard remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal accuracy.
2. Can this standard be used with ICP-OES instruments?
While optimized for ICP-MS, it is compatible with ICP-OES systems, though sensitivity may vary. For ICP-OES, consider a higher concentration standard (e.g., 100 ppm) to achieve better signal-to-noise ratios.
3. What diluent is used in this Sodium standard?
The solution is prepared in a high-purity nitric acid matrix (2% v/v), which ensures stability and minimizes polyatomic interferences during analysis.
4. How should I dispose of unused or expired Sodium standard?
Follow local hazardous waste disposal regulations. Neutralize with a compatible base (e.g., sodium hydroxide) before disposal, or contact a licensed chemical waste handler for safe processing.
5. Is this standard traceable to international reference materials?
Yes, the concentration is traceable to NIST SRM (National Institute of Standards and Technology Standard Reference Materials) and is accompanied by a certificate of analysis for verification.
