Product Overview
This Strontium 1000 ppm ICP-ML single-element standard is a high-purity aqueous solution designed for precise calibration in inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectroscopy. Formulated in a 2-5% nitric acid matrix, it ensures minimal matrix interferences and long-term stability, making it suitable for demanding analytical applications. The standard is traceable to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) reference materials, guaranteeing accuracy and reliability in quantitative elemental analysis. Its low contamination risk and consistent concentration eliminate variability in results, critical for laboratories requiring stringent quality control. The solution is packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles to prevent leaching and maintain integrity during storage. Compatible with most ICP-OES and ICP-MS instruments, this standard simplifies workflow by reducing the need for frequent recalibration. The 100 ml pack size offers an optimal balance between cost efficiency and usage volume for regular lab operations. Whether used for environmental testing, material characterization, or research applications, this Strontium standard delivers reproducible performance with minimal lot-to-lot variation.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Strontium ICP standard when stored properly?
When stored unopened at room temperature (15–25°C) in its original container, this standard remains stable for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or temperature extremes.
2. Is this standard compatible with both ICP-OES and ICP-MS instruments?
Yes, the 1000 ppm concentration and nitric acid matrix are optimized for use in both ICP-OES (Optical Emission Spectrometry) and ICP-MS (Mass Spectrometry) systems without requiring additional dilution for most applications.
3. What materials are used for the bottle and cap to prevent contamination?
The solution is packaged in HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) bottles with PP (Polypropylene) caps, both of which are tested for low metal leaching to ensure minimal background interference.
4. Can this standard be diluted for lower concentration requirements?
Yes, it can be diluted using ultra-pure water and nitric acid (2-5%) to achieve lower concentrations. Follow standard lab practices for serial dilution to maintain accuracy.
5. How does the nitric acid matrix affect the standard’s performance?
The 2-5% nitric acid matrix stabilizes the Strontium ions, prevents precipitation, and minimizes adsorption to container walls, ensuring consistent concentration and reducing signal drift during analysis.
