Product Overview
This Thulium plasma standard solution (10,000µg/ml) is formulated with Specpure® grade purity, ensuring minimal matrix interferences and maximum accuracy for plasma-based analytical techniques. The solution is prepared in a high-purity acid matrix, stabilized for long-term consistency, and traceable to NIST standards. Its ultra-low impurity profile makes it ideal for calibrating high-sensitivity instruments like ICP-OES and AAS, where even trace contamination can skew results. The 10,000µg/ml concentration provides flexibility for serial dilutions, reducing preparation time while maintaining precision. Packaged in HDPE bottles to prevent leaching or adsorption, this standard solution retains its integrity across repeated uses. Each batch undergoes rigorous multi-element analysis to confirm purity, with certificates of analysis provided for full transparency. The aqueous formulation ensures compatibility with most plasma spectroscopy workflows without requiring additional sample prep adjustments.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Thulium plasma standard solution?
The solution remains stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature. Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal accuracy.
2. Can this standard be used for ICP-MS applications?
While optimized for ICP-OES/AAS, it can be used for ICP-MS with proper dilution to avoid detector saturation from the high 10,000µg/ml concentration.
3. What acid matrix is used in this solution?
The solution is prepared in a nitric acid matrix (typically 2-5% v/v) to ensure complete metal solubility and stability.
4. Are the bottles certified for trace metal analysis?
Yes, the HDPE bottles are pre-cleaned and certified for ultra-low metal leaching, meeting Class 100 cleanroom standards.
5. How should I dispose of unused solution?
Neutralize with a compatible base (e.g., sodium hydroxide) before disposal according to local hazardous waste regulations for heavy metal solutions.
