Product Overview
This Specpure® transition metals plasma standard solution is a high-purity reference material designed for accurate calibration and quality control in trace metal analysis. The solution contains 10 essential transition metals—cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), vanadium (V), and zinc (Zn)—each at a precise concentration of 100µg/ml. Formulated using Specpure® grade reagents, this standard ensures minimal matrix interference and exceptional stability, making it suitable for demanding analytical techniques such as Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), and Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The aqueous solution is prepared in high-purity acids to prevent contamination and maintain long-term stability, eliminating the need for frequent recalibration. Its consistent composition and certified purity levels adhere to international standards, providing reliable results for research, environmental testing, and industrial applications. The solution is packaged in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles to prevent leaching and ensure sample integrity during storage. Whether used for instrument calibration, method validation, or routine analysis, this standard delivers unmatched accuracy and reproducibility, reducing analytical errors and improving laboratory efficiency.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Specpure® transition metals plasma standard solution?
The solution remains stable for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened at room temperature (15–25°C) in its original packaging. Once opened, use within 6 months for optimal accuracy.
2. Is this standard compatible with ICP-OES instruments?
Yes, this solution is fully compatible with ICP-OES systems, as well as ICP-MS and AAS, due to its ultra-pure formulation and absence of spectral interferences.
3. Can this standard be diluted for lower concentration requirements?
Yes, the solution can be diluted using high-purity deionized water or appropriate diluents (e.g., 2% HNO₃) to achieve lower concentrations while maintaining accuracy.
4. What is the matrix composition of this standard?
The solution is prepared in a dilute nitric acid matrix (typically 2–5% HNO₃) to ensure stability and prevent precipitation of metal ions.
5. Are there alternatives available for single-element standards?
Single-element standards for each of these transition metals are available separately if a specific metal calibration is required for your application.
