Product Overview
This Thallium plasma standard solution (1000µg/ml) is formulated with Specpure® grade purity, ensuring minimal matrix interference and maximum accuracy in trace element analysis. The solution is stabilized in high-purity nitric acid, making it ideal for calibration curves, quality control checks, and method validation in inductively coupled plasma (ICP) techniques, including ICP-OES and ICP-MS. Its ultra-low impurity profile guarantees consistent performance across sensitive analytical applications, reducing the risk of false positives or signal suppression. The solution is supplied in amber glass bottles to prevent photodegradation, maintaining stability over extended storage periods. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for elemental purity, concentration accuracy, and long-term stability, adhering to international standards for reference materials. The 1000µg/ml concentration provides flexibility for serial dilutions, accommodating a wide range of analytical requirements without compromising precision. Compatible with most modern spectroscopy instruments, this standard eliminates the need for in-house preparation, saving time while ensuring reproducibility. The nitric acid matrix (typically 2-5%) is optimized for compatibility with common sample digestion protocols, facilitating seamless integration into existing workflows.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Thallium plasma standard solution?
The solution remains stable for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature in its original packaging. Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal accuracy.
2. Can this standard be used for both ICP-OES and ICP-MS applications?
Yes, the Specpure® grade and nitric acid matrix make it suitable for both ICP-OES and ICP-MS, though you may need to adjust dilution factors based on your instrument’s sensitivity requirements.
3. What material are the bottles made of, and why?
The solution is packaged in amber glass bottles to block UV light, which could otherwise degrade the thallium ions over time. The glass is also chemically inert to prevent leaching.
4. Is this solution compatible with automated sample preparation systems?
The nitric acid matrix (2-5%) is compatible with most automated liquid handling systems, but we recommend verifying with your system manufacturer for specific material compatibility.
5. How does the Specpure® grade differ from standard analytical grades?
Specpure® standards undergo additional purification steps to remove trace contaminants, resulting in lower detection limits and reduced background interference compared to standard analytical-grade solutions.
